Cecilia Chigo’s dream is to stand in front of a classroom and help students feel the same sense of pride and belonging she felt when she picked up a paintbrush as a child. Her story is one of talent, resilience, and powerful community support.

As funding cuts ripple through early childhood education, one summer program is helping local students enter kindergarten with confidence.

When therapist, parent, and Impact on Education donor Sarah Ahn toured a Boulder Valley high school Wellness Center and saw students relaxing in the space, she immediately recognized the value.

Each summer, Julie Knopf and her son Ryan roll up their sleeves to help thousands of Boulder Valley students start school on the right foot.

We’re proud to announce the addition of three new members to our Board of Directors: Brook Brockett, Polly Fields, and Natasha Wright.

This year, we invested $89,210 in talented Boulder Valley students — $37,210 in new scholarships for graduating seniors and $52,000 in renewed support for alumni.

This fall, Centaurus senior Addisu McCormick will attend the University of Colorado at Boulder, with the Earl and Barbara Bolton Scholarship bringing him closer to his dream of designing affordable housing.

Nearly 500 educators, administrators, and community members attended the 32nd annual Impact Awards, where educators from across Boulder Valley were recognized for their exceptional impact on education.

In honor of National Library Week, Centaurus High School teacher-librarian and Academic Opportunity Fund grantee Shoshannah Turgel recommends books for young adult and adult readers.
