Small Grants, Big Impact
The Attainment Network is proud of the outcomes of our latest round of Learner Voice Grants, which continue to amplify the perspectives of learners and earners in Colorado’s education-to-workforce systems.
2024 Grants by the Numbers
- $25,000 awarded
- 10 partners selected from across the state
- 900+ learners and earners engaged through storytelling, surveys, events, and focus groups
Small Grants, Big Impact
Each Learner Voice mini-grant – just $2,500 – supports powerful, locally driven efforts to center learner and earner perspectives in education-to-workforce systems. These small but strategic investments fuel storytelling projects, community conversations, surveys, and other activities that surface real-world insights directly from those navigating career pathways.
Since the program’s inception in 2022, more than 1,700 learners and earners have been engaged – helping shape more responsive, inclusive policies and practices across Colorado.
Why It Matters
When learners are invited to reflect, share, and lead, systems become more responsive, fair, and effective. These projects don’t just highlight barriers – they help identify solutions from those with lived experience.
What’s Next
Our partners will use their findings to improve programs and processes, ensuring their work expands opportunities for learners and strengthens their communities.
