The Attainment Network is awarding its third annual round of $2,500 mini-grants to 10 organizations across Colorado to bolster initiatives that amplify the voices of learners and earners in shaping education-to-workforce systems to meet critical workforce needs. 

These grants aim to help organizations incorporate learner and earner perspectives in their programs and systems design. As a result, their programs are adjusted to better serve l/earners and meet the demands of local employers, creating opportunities in careers that support families and help entire communities thrive. 

More than 40 applications were received. Grants will be awarded to the following organizations working in urban and rural communities across Colorado: 

• Bright Futures for Early Childhood 
• CEC High School Fort Collins 
• Colorado Equitable Economic Mobility Initiative (CEEMI) 
• Colorado Department of Higher Education 
• Denver Scholarship Foundation 
• Generation Schools Network   
• Homegrown Pathways 
• Juntos 
• Learning Economy Foundation 
• Young Invincibles 

We are excited to follow their progress and share updates in the future.
