our programs
Many districts in Colorado, especially rural ones, have gone to four-day school weeks due to lack of funding. This program is our attempt to make up for that deficiency. On Mondays and Fridays we send instructors into those communities to teach our curriculum to high school students.

Junior ROTC is a great opportunity for kids who are interested in joining the military. However, many of them don’t have the basic literacy skills to pass the ASVAB – the proficiency test the military gives new recruits. This program pays for our instructors to go into high schools once a week to teach struggling cadets.

Our main event! We bring kids from around the country to spend a week in Denver. We give them 24 hours of classroom literacy instruction and 16 hours of field exercises designed to improve their critical thinking skills, including a day at the Leadership Reaction Course and a writing exercise centered around a surveillance mission! We know – strange combination – but it works!
