Renewing Democracy in Education
"Access Colorado has provided us the opportunity and resources to develop and implement a fully integrated academically based Public Achievement outreach program working with low-income primarily Latino high school and middle school students, most of whom are I have a Dream Foundation students (Dreamers). CU students are recruited and enrolled in a service learning course ‘Renewing Democracy in Education” and serve as coaches and mentors teaching youth how to become civically engaged and that they have a voice in their communities. The impacts are phenomenal for the students, coaches, schools and communities. We have all learned SI SE Puede!"
