Everyone in our community is experiencing increased costs for food, fuel and other basic necessities. Rising prices mean families across our community are struggling to make ends meet. Every school in the Boulder Valley School District includes families facing financial challenges.

We know the needs of our community will continue and change through the 2023-24 school year, and there are four key ways we are supporting recovery for the BVSD students and educators.

After spending the majority of her career as a project manager in high tech, Ali always felt she was missing opportunities to give back to the community. She knew that she could put her professional leadership, communication and relationship management skills to use at the foundation as our Community Partnerships Manager.

With nearly 30,000 students in the Boulder Valley School District, our work addresses systemic barriers and prioritizes those furthest from resources. We’re eager to see what we can accomplish this year, and are already working in three areas where we can increase opportunity and academic success for our students.

As 2022 comes to a close we’re looking back on our most-read stories of the year. From our crisis response efforts after the Marshall Fire to introducing new board members and scholarship awardees, we’re sharing what inspired our community most this year.

With $68,000 awarded this month, we’ve now invested over $245,000 through 145 Academic Opportunity Fund grants that will support students and educators at 38 schools across the district.

Students from Centaurus High School, Boulder High School and New Vista High School will participate in a series of after-school workshops to help them find and communicate their strengths in order to attain professional opportunities.

Your year-end gift ensures we’re able to continue focusing on the mental health of students, their families and our valued educators. Our greatest strength is our ability to adapt to meet emerging needs, and we hope we can count on your support today!

Supporting the mental health of our students and educators is a critical need for our community. Impact on Education is committed to helping the Boulder Valley School District provide mental health support for students from kindergarten through graduation, and providing opportunities for educators to help both students and themselves.
