Our Bright Futures Fund honors our 40th Anniversary and elevates our work in education through:
- Creating paths to local careers in technical fields and trades
- Increasing college scholarships for low-income students
Our longstanding partnerships with Summit School District and Colorado Mountain College provide a solid foundation for this special initiative that includes partnerships with local businesses.
We are proud to create this initiative to support students in gaining real-world skills for the workforce, obtaining college credits and/or industry certificates, and providing apprenticeships to create pathways to build their lives and families in Summit County.
