Details
Description
Mile High 360 is an after-school college access program serving underserved students in Denver Public Schools. Since 2008, we’ve supported students from sixth grade through age 24, providing over 425 hours of programming each year focused on academics, health & wellness, and life skills.
Join Our Community!
At Mile High 360, Health & Wellness and Academics is about more than just exercise or homework! It’s about helping students discover forms of movement they enjoy, building meaningful relationships with responsible, caring adults, and supporting their academic growth through tutoring and academic projects.
Volunteers Opportunities
Our school-year programming runs Monday–Friday, 4:30 PM to 6:45 PM. Volunteers are encouraged but not required to attend the entire session. From 4:30 PM to 5:20 PM, students participate in Health & Wellness activities, followed by academic time from 5:25 PM to 6:45 PM. During the summer, programming runs from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

As a volunteer, your role is just as much about building relationships as it is about the activity itself. We’re looking for dependable, caring adults who enjoy working with middle and high school students, are flexible, and show up consistently. Your presence helps students find movements they enjoy and experience the support of responsible adults in our community.
