Serve Colorado

Mission Statement

Serve Colorado builds a culture of civic engagement across the state in partnership with a vast array of community based organizations. Housed in the Office of Lt. Governor Joe Garcia, the program is closely aligned with efforts to increase access to education and improve student outcomes. The commission guides our work in three distinct programs: AmeriCorps Colorado, the state agency of the national domestic service program; Colorado Reads, the state's early literacy initiative; and Days of Service to promote volunteerism. Serve Colorado has recently undertaken efforts to strategically focus funds on programs that will increase high school graduation rates by working within the realm of education and student success. Serve Colorado programs are funded through public and private grants, sponsorships and individual donations.
