Discovery Link
Discovery Link is offered at over 40 schools within DPS. At most sites, our programs serve children K to 5th grade who are enrolled in Denver Public Schools. Select sites are Child Care Center programs and serve children ECE to 5th grade. Additionally, select sites serve up to 8th grade. https://equity.dpsk12.org/extended-learning/discovery-link/

Food For Thought
Our vision is to ultimately live in a community where weekend hunger is no longer a roadblock in a child’s path to success. Each Friday, individuals, students, and corporate volunteers gather to fill PowerSacks. Each bag contains enough non-perishable food items to feed a family of four for the weekend. The bags are then distributed to the students on Friday afternoons to take home to their families. https://foodforthoughtdenver.org/

Education Through Music
Education Through Music-Colorado (ETM Colorado) partners with under-resourced schools to provide music as a core subject for all children, and utilizes music education as a catalyst to improve academic achievement, motivation for school and self-confidence. https://etmcolorado.org/

Playworks
Playworks brings out the best in every kid, through play. We build a culture of play that enables kids to feel a real sense of belonging. Partnering with teachers, principals, and parents, we make sure kids have the opportunity to contribute on the playground, in the classroom, and in our community. playworks.org/colorado
