Mile High 360 is a Denver based non-profit providing wrap-around support services to first-generation college bound middle and high school students from low-income families and marginalized communities. This year, we have expanded our programming to include a mentoring component that will ultimately match each student in Mile High 360 with their own mentor. We are recruiting mentors to help these amazing young people reach their potential. Whether you are getting to know your mentee, exploring a new place, or learning a new skill together, we know that mentoring works and can impact both you and the mentee.Feel free to email the Mentoring Program Coordinator at carlost@milehigh360.org or call at 404-944-1930.

Academic Achievement: We support learning beyond the classroom through homework help, one-on-one tutoring, focused enrichment in literacy and math, and project based learning.

Students are able to make positive life choices as they work in a group setting or with a volunteer mentor setting goals and discussing life decisions.

Under the direction of their athletic coach, students learn important life skills to master the sport. Post-Secondary and Career Readiness-Students discover pathways to academic, professional and personal success through special events and programs such as financial literacy, college visits, and scholarship success.
