Denver Kids, Inc. does the important work of seeing that students at-risk of dropping out are provided the support they need to graduate. Serving over 1,300 students, Denver Kids, Inc. specializes in Educational Counseling; a one-to-one relationship-based, long-term preventive approach dedicated to building character, academic achievement, and positive development of the whole child. The long-term goal is to empower our students to become contributing members of the community and end the cycle of generational poverty one family at a time.Students in the Denver Kids, Inc. program face numerous challenges, from poverty to unstable home situations and behavioral issues. Many are living in single-guardian households. Most are tracking a grade level behind. Denver Kids, Inc. works with referrals from DPS to identify the students in these situations who could benefit from joining the program. Once a student qualifies, he or she is paired with one of our 30 full-time Educational Counselors who help students become positioned for success both in and out of school. It is through this wrap-around approach that we are combating the dropout crisis in Denver. http://denverkidsinc.org/
