Colorado UpLift

Our staff and students showed up with heart, determination, and community spirit at the Colfax 5K.

Every step was more than just part of a race — it was a reminder of what happens when we encourage one another, push past limits, and keep moving forward together.

We're so proud of our students and grateful for the staff who continue to walk, run, mentor, and lead alongside them. This is what UpLift is all about! 🧡

Special shout out to for training support, race day support, hydration partnerships with RNWY and GU, and providing every student participant with exclusive BMR Colorado medals! We're grateful for your partnership and being the village our students need.

We gathered for more than a graduation and scholarship presentation party. It was a reminder of what long-term, life-changing relationships can build.

Eighteen students received scholarships — and one very lucky student received a full ride. Sixty-three students were presented with their Colorado UpLift graduation cords.

But those cords are not just a program completed.

They represent the van rides. The mountain trips. The after-school conversations. The Teacher/Mentor who answered the phone. The adults who kept showing up. The moments when someone looked a young person in the eye and said, “Your future is great, and it matters.”

One by one, our Teacher/Mentors brought their students onto the stage and placed those cords around their necks themselves.

That is what made the night so powerful.

Moments like that do not happen by accident. They happen because a community decides to show up — year after year, relationship by relationship.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. We are so proud of you. Once you are part of UpLift, you are always part of UpLift. Your story is still being written, and we cannot wait to see where it goes next. 🎓

Our latest service trip to Tijuana, Mexico was a powerful reminder of what leadership looks like in action.
Colorado UpLift student, staff and donors stepped up as servant leaders, helping build homes for three families and showing what can happen when compassion turns into action.
We are so proud of the way they served, worked hard, and represented the heart of UpLift.
This is what it's all about: building leaders who use their lives to make a difference.

Big finish with even bigger smiles!

Grateful for the growth, the challenge, and this crew that made it unforgettable
