Providing youth with steady support and access to opportunities.
LiftED Futures provides afterschool and summer programming that supports youth success in school and in life. We collaborate with caregivers and community partners so youth have steady support and access to opportunities.
About LiftED Futures
Since 1988, Colorado LiftED Foundation has built its work on long-term partnership — walking alongside more than 1,000 youth and families across the Denver Metro area.
LiftED Futures supports the same group of youth as they move through school and life beyond high school. Our team stays connected across each stage of a young person’s journey because real growth happens through consistent relationships.
We believe access to strong learning opportunities and future pathways should not depend on a young person’s circumstances.
What We Focus On
Social and Emotional Learning: Helping youth build belonging, confidence, and relationship skills
Tutoring and Homework Help: Individualized academic support based on what each youth needs
Future-Ready Skills Development: Goal-setting, communication, self-advocacy, and planning
Project-Based Learning: Hands-on experiences that build curiosity and real-world skills
College & Career Exploration: Curriculum, guest speakers, and field trips that expand what youth see as possible
