great time and help make a difference in the lives of students and
your community! Background More than 10,000 students drop out of
Colorado schools every year. On average, a student who drops out is
not eligible for 90% of available jobs and will cost taxpayers nearly
$300,000 over their lifetime in lost tax revenue, crime,
incarceration, and health related costs. Since 2005, CYC has worked to
reenroll youth who have dropped out of school and provide in-school
programming to prevent youth from dropping out in the first place. We
proudly serve 3,000 children and youth each year through early
literacy support; high school intervention programs that target
attendance and course failure; re-enrollment services for those that
have dropped out; and a GED plus concurrent enrollment program in
partnership with Aurora Public Schools. Learn more at
