Serve Colorado’s Post

Big moment last weekend! College Renaissance Corps launched our 2nd cohort of CRCorps Industry Ambassadors in #Houston and #Colorado! 46 #communitycollege students are serving as AmeriCorps members committed to working in and with their local communities to showcase the opportunities available at their #communitycolleges! We're thrilled to be continuing our work with Houston Community College, Arapahoe Community College, and Community College of Denver. AND we're very excited to have welcomed a new Colorado Community College System partner to the fold - Red Rocks Community College! Shot out to Gael Morales, Madan Khadka, Samuel Adebiyi, and Fatimat Lawal who have returned to #CRCorps for a second year of service in the new CRCorps Lead Ambassador role. Special shouts out to Abby Fleiss, Leah Porter Ed.M, Raven Cooper, and Alicia Lozano for leading up an incredible recruitment cycle, and creating a great 2-day orientation for members. I was really grateful to share space with these incredible students and leaders, discussing our collective vision for championing college opportunity to all. As our year progresses, we look forward to continuing our partnerships with Chantelle George, Ph.D. and Yoni Dobie-Geffen who are helping us go deeper into high school and community settings, and Vanessa Grover, M.S. who brings her knowledge helping us build thoughtful training modules to fully prepare our members for impact. This work wouldn't be happening without our funding partners - OneStar, Serve Colorado, Lumina Foundation, ECMC Foundation, the Beacon fund, and the Colorado Gives Foundation along with the support of Campus Compact, Bobbie Laur and Matt Farley. Stay tuned - big news by way of #Connecticut coming in the next week, and more updates via #Illinois and #NorthCarolina in the next month.
