Increasing access to summertime programming for k-12 youth in La Plata County.

La Plata County

Our Approach

Strategy #1

 Team UP Summer Scholarship Program focuses on reducing barriers to participation in summer activities: cost of programming, inclusivity and belonging, and ease of enrollment.

Key Actions

Supported over 600 youth in attending summer programming through providing full or partial scholarships to sixteen different youth-serving organizations across the county between 2023-2024.

We are still crunching the numbers, but stay tuned for more details on our 2024 impact!

Strategy #2

Increasing family awareness of programming through strong collaboration and outreach across organizations
