Access Opportunity was founded in 2014 as a college and career prep program for under-resourced youth to gain the skills, education, experiences, and network necessary to launch themselves into impactful careers. We are a high-touch and long-term program for talented low-income students in the Denver Metro area.

Our mission is to create opportunities for high-potential, low-income students to define their individual path through high school, college and career, ultimately benefiting the lives of others. We do this by supporting the most talented low-income students who have power to make great impact, focusing on their individual needs and career dreams.

Our goal is that our high-touch services can be delivered to 120 students per year and up to 240 parents/guardians. Our current programs include: ACCESS COLLEGE: 10th through 12th grade We help our students enroll in their best-fit college through individualized college counseling, academic and test prep tutoring, and leadership development.
