Many of the students we support each year have been impacted by the justice system. This can make the journey toward a high school diploma and post-secondary both challenging and discouraging. We're encouraged by the new bill aimed to reduce barriers for young people trying to finish school and appreciate the alignment with our value of systemic transformation. Colorado Public Radio

Dinsmore & Shohl collected math games and notes of encouragement for 43 Math Corps students in Thornton! Dinsmore & Shohl have been a longtime partner of CYC and we are so grateful for their support!
The Firm’s Denver office supports the Colorado Youth for a Change (CYC) in its mission to help students build confidence and find success in school and beyond. CYC was established nearly 20 years ago in response to the thousands of students dropping out of Colorado schools each year. Since that time, CYC has evolved to provide prevention and reengagement programs that span ages 3-21 and serve over 6,000 Colorado students every year. This year, Dinsmore’s Denver office brought math games to engage 43 students in the STEM Launch program in Thornton, Colorado. Each of the items included notes of encouragement to each student receiving a game.

Mary Zanotti and Nelly Grosso represented Colorado Youth for a Change in Washington, DC this week - joining forces with Serve Colorado, the Schultz Family Foundation, Pinterest, AmeriCorps, the Colorado Behavioral Health Administration, and the Colorado Community College System to recruit, train, and deploy the nation’s first Youth Mental Health Corps to help teenagers access critical mental health resources. In partnership with 10 states across the country, the Youth Mental Health Corps is an innovative, public-private collaboration that will address the growing needs of young people while creating career pathways to address the national shortage of mental-health professionals. Corps members will be trained as navigators serving high school students. https://lnkd.in/gf6XU3n3
