Background
More than 10,000 students drop out of Colorado schools every year. On average, a student who drops out is not eligible for 90% of available jobs and will cost taxpayers nearly $300,000 over their lifetime in lost tax revenue, crime, incarceration, and health related costs.
Since 2005, CYC has worked to reenroll youth who have dropped out of school and provide in-school programming to prevent youth from dropping out in the first place. We proudly serve 3,000 children and youth each year through early literacy support; high school intervention programs that target attendance and course failure; re-enrollment services for those that have dropped out; and a GED plus concurrent enrollment program in partnership with Aurora Public Schools.
