Mentors Needed!

Seeking Fashion Design Mentors! – Community Resources, Inc. is seeking fashion design mentors to share their knowledge with Denver Public School students. The Academic Mentors Project matches high achieving DPS students, 5th through 8th grades, with community volunteers who are accomplished in their field.

The Academic Mentors Project has served more than 2200 students in Denver Public Schools since 1984.
