This two-week program will utilize a tiered mentorship model for BIPOC youth and educators. Poudre School District students of color entering grades 4-8 will build interdisciplinary literacy, math, business, and leadership skills through the shared development of new businesses. Students entering third grade may register if they have an older sibling in the program and are mature and responsible. High school and college students will learn strategies for mentoring youth and be supported in considering teaching as a lifelong career. Teachers and CSU faculty will guide the program at the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery.
True Color Effects is a local summer youth leadership program co-designed in the summer of 2023 by 13 local high school students and teachers and a CSU teacher educator, all of whom identify as Indigenous or people of color.
