Why Donate?
Every dollar counts.
Educating Children of Color, Inc. is still committed to our original mission, to dismantle the cradle-to-prison pipeline for youth of color and youth in poverty through education.
We envision a world where all children reach their full potential and where no individual's value is discounted because of socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, religion, gender expression, sexual orientation, or ability.
Your donation goes directly to our youth and adult programs, like Leadership Academy, Diversity University, and the Annual Summit Conference, to combat inequity right here in our Colorado Springs community.
