Help develop potential into talent with ActivateWork

Make the gift of a life-changing career

Today in Denver, over 192,000 people are living at or near the poverty level. Unemployment and under-employment lie at the core of this issue. There is no better solution than a good job. ActivateWork prepares people to succeed in full-time, thriving wage jobs. On average, our graduates grow their incomes by 121% in their new careers.

Your contribution will give our learners access to world-class training and jobs that will transform their lives, their families, and their communities.

General Operating support

Your gift will be used to address our most pressing needs to scale this evidence-based workforce development program in Colorado.

Give to the Emergency Fund

Too often, our learners are forced to drop a program because of their financial circumstances. Lack of childcare, issues with transportation, or trouble paying rent and bills can hold someone back from graduating. When you give to the Emergency Fund, you provide learners up to $500 for immediate assistance in overcoming obstacles that interfere with their coursework.

Sponsor a LEARNER

A gift of $10,000 will provide a learner access to quality IT training, jobs with leading employers in Denver, and ongoing coaching and support to ensure their success.
