Education Elevated strongly believes that where a child lives or their economic status should not impact their ability to earn an education to be better able to support their family and community.

Since its founding in 2008, Education Elevated has focused its efforts on providing education for the children of the Chyangba in Northeast Nepal. Chyangba is a very small, remote village that is home to many of the Sherpa people who provide support for international trekkers undertaking Mt. Everest. However, most Sherpa families continue to live in abject poverty.

Education Elevated built its first public schoolhouse in Chyangba in 2014. Boys were allowed to walk up to 2-3 hours/day to attend school; girls in outlying areas were not. Sadly, the new school was destroyed during the historic earthquake of 2015 but was rebuilt the following year using earthquake-resistant methods.

Along with the new school, Education Elevated created hostel-style accommodations for 24 girls between the ages of five and ten who live too far to walk to school every day. Education Elevated provides sponsorships for the girls to cover the cost of their education, room, and board for 10 months.

Education Elevated also supports both boys and girls by providing uniforms which are a requirement of the Government of Nepal to attend public school, as well as other needed educational items such as school supplies and teacher uniforms.

For more information on the organization’s history and activities, please go to Education Elevated’s website at www.educationelevated.org.

Our Board supports the work of Education Elevated in improving access to education and provides mission-based leadership and strategic governance. While day-to-day operations are led by Education Elevated’s chief executive officer (CEO), the Board-CEO relationship is a partnership, and the appropriate involvement of the Board is both critical and expected.

Specific Board Member responsibilities include:

A.  Leadership, governance, and oversight including serving as a trusted advisor to the CEO as s/he develops and implements Education Elevated’s strategic plan and participating on committees, task forces and/or taking on special assignments.

B.  Fundraising including supporting the annual garden concert fundraiser and making an annual contribution that is commensurate with their capacity.

This is an extraordinary opportunity for an individual passionate about Education Elevated’s mission of education for all and who either has a track record of board leadership or a strong desire to get involved. Selected Board Members will have a variety of skills and experience in business, government, philanthropy, or the nonprofit sector to help grow the reach and impact of the organization. His/her accomplishments and networks will allow him/her to attract other well-qualified, high-performing Board Members.

Ideal candidates will have the following qualifications:

   Professional experience and/or significant executive leadership accomplishments in business, government, philanthropy, or the nonprofit sector

   A commitment to and understanding of Education Elevated’s education for all philosophy, preferably based on experience

   Savvy diplomatic skills and a natural affinity for cultivating relationships and persuading, convening, facilitating, and building consensus among diverse individuals

   Personal qualities of integrity, credibility, and a passion for improving the lives of Education Elevated’s beneficiaries

Service on Education Elevated’s Board of Directors is without remuneration, except for administrative support, travel, and accommodation costs in relation to Board Members’ duties.

This program simulation is proven to empower youth age 13 to 25 to understand and manage adult financial responsibilities so they are motivated to pursue the education and career they need to earn a living wage. In addition to teaching students how to create a budget, use financial services, and save for the future, this economic reality check improves student attitudes toward work and education at a crucial time in their development.

 JA Finance Park begins in the classroom where students participate in 12 lessons that teach basic financial concepts. Students are then challenged to apply what they learned by taking a field trip to JA Finance Park where they’re immersed in a reality-based budgeting simulation that challenges them to live within their means as they consider expenses such as housing, transportation, health care, food, childcare, property insurance, Internet service, utilities, entertainment, and more.

We need volunteers to help guests throughout the market. Opportunities include walking with guests, helping reach and bag groceries and stocking shelves. Must be able to lift, stand, stoop and be comfortable talking to guests. We would also love to have bilingual help!

Volunteers assist in the daily care of our horses and serve as side walkers, ground-based horse leaders, or horse leaders during lessons. All volunteers start with a general orientation and then move on to training. They can choose to train to feed horses and muck stalls, side walk during lessons, and horse lead during lessons.  

We feed our horses three times daily, and we muck stalls once daily. There is a one-time training for Feeders/Muckers.  

Side walkers walk alongside our clients on horseback, are responsible for the safety of the client during the lesson, and support the client as needed. There is also a one-time training for side walkers.  
​
The first level of Horse Leaders is our Ground-based Horse Leaders. They help turn out the horses, hand-walking horses for exercise, and getting horses groomed and ready for lessons that don't involve a client riding. Training for Ground-based horse leaders consists of working with a mentor to learn the needed skills and then evaluating those skills by an instructor.  

Lesson Horse Leaders are responsible for grooming and tacking up the horse before lessons, leading the horse during lessons, and untacking and grooming the horse after lessons.   Training for Lesson Horse Leaders also involves working with a mentor to learn needed skills for lessons beyond those of a Ground-based Horse Leader and then evaluating those skills by an instructor.  

Each lesson requires a Horse Leader and up to two Side Walkers depending upon the client's needs.  

All volunteers must complete training to learn unique client assistance techniques and horse-handling methods. Horse experience and experience working with people with disabilities is a plus but unnecessary. Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age to serve as Side Walkers or Horse Leaders. Volunteers under 16 can assist with horse care outside of the arena and other barn tasks but must be accompanied by a trained adult volunteer when volunteering.  

To volunteer, please complete an application here:  https://www.therightstepinc.org/become-a-volunteer.html.

College and Career Success:  Coach Mentoring is a year-long program that matches 10th-grade students with industry professionals that help support them in envisioning and planning their career and post-secondary journey. A Coach Mentoring Program Coordinator recruits students from their CTE classes and/or based on specific demographic information tailored towards affinity spaces.

Students and mentors participate in facilitated monthly sessions that include topics such as Informational interviewing, job shadowing, career exploration, resume building, college visits, and more. The program ends with a celebration and presentation of learning that summarizes their takeaways and their future plans based on their experience in the program.

Middle School Cohorts:

A similar mentoring program is currently facilitated at two middle school locations. Middle school students engage in self-exploration activities designed to deepen their career identity and plan for high school

Affinity Cohorts:

Affinity groups are designated “safe spaces,” where everyone in that group shares a particular identity. For people who are often underrepresented, underserved, and often excluded by the systems in which they operate, an affinity space can offer the community and reduce feelings of isolation through the benefit of shared experiences. This offers an opportunity for young people to see themselves reflected in others and boost their confidence around what success and achievement look like to them.
Currently, we offer affinity mentoring for BIPOC and Spanish-speaking students, as well as Women in STEAM. We hope to expand to serve our Special Education and LGBTQIA+ students.

We're Athena Project – the Colorado nonprofit that amplifies the work of all women and underrepresented genders through the arts. By providing artists with paid work opportunities, we ensure audiences get to see and hear their work. Since 2012, through our programming and intentional partnerships, we invest in artist development, increase access to professional opportunities and build community by engaging audiences. Our work advances equity in the arts in Denver, Colorado and beyond.

Volunteer Description: Coordinate volunteers for all departments, and help onboard all volunteers.

Preferred Skills:

Why Volunteer with Athena Project?
