Why Completion Matters
Higher education is critical. By 2020, 65% of jobs will require some sort of education beyond high school. And college graduates end up earning nearly $1 million more than a high school graduate over their lifetime. Those with a college degree are also healthier, more likely to vote, and more engaged in their community. BUT starting college is not enough. Half of the students who enroll don’t graduate, and that is a problem the next Higher Education Act should address.

At Our Core: How YOU Can Help Education Funding in Colorado
We all know that education funding in Colorado has been a challenge for years, and while that hasn’t stopped us from delivering a world-class education to all of our students, we continue to advocate for much-needed change. From salaries to curricular resources to extracurriculars, less funding means more hard choices and possible trade-offs for both our schools and the Home Office. You may have already been involved in the many different advocacy efforts our network has participated in, or perhaps you are already engaged with the community in another capacity. Today we share some new ways that you can get involved to push our legislators to vote for additional funding so that our educators and students have the resources that they need.
