How We Invested in Education in 2021
Students and educators need mental health support, targeted tutoring, and access to academic opportunities. Here’s a look at how we invested in public education this year.
Community Partners
Community Partners
Impact on Education relies on the support of community partners who, like us, believe in the potential of all students and understand the importance of strong schools to a strong local economy. We rely on these partnerships to help us engage students and empower educators across the Boulder Valley School District. When the community support public education, we can work together to strengthen the Boulder Valley School District.
Thank you to the following community partners who are supporting our work.
