129-MMCO Kick off Sept 2024

10 Mentors Needed!

As a 98% volunteer run organization, our mentors are at the heart of what we do! We believe every student deserves the support and guidance of someone who can help them dream bigger, aim higher, and navigate the journey to college. While we have many amazing adults committed to our sophomore class already, we currently have 10 incredible, motivated young people embarking their three-year journey with us who need mentors to guide them along the way.

Are you ready to impact a young person's life, broaden your own network, and join our amazing community?

MMCO - Prosperity Denver Award - Social Post(1)

Prosperity Denver supports MMCO

Prosperity Denver Fund (PDF) was started in 2018 after Denver voters passed a ballot initiative that called for a 0.08% sales tax to be distributed to nonprofits providing scholarships to Denver students. MMCO had the opportunity to participate in a pilot for a High School Support Services Reimbursement Program with PDF to provide funding to qualified organizations for high school initiatives aimed at increasing postsecondary preparedness and enrollment among low-income Denver residents.
