Colorado Campus Compact

"As a Hispanic serving institution with a mission to prepare future teachers to work in low income, highly diverse schools, partnering with UCAN Serve has provided the needed support to meet our departmental goals. UCAN Serve has provided opportunities for student teachers to engage in direct service with hundreds of K-12 students whose low socio-economic background has identified them as being at-risk for low achievement. Without this support, many student teachers’ own financial needs would have required them to seek additional employment, decreasing the time and effort they could commit to K-12 students and to their own growth as teachers."
