JES-CO is a community-wide effort reclaiming education as a path towards liberation for justice-engaged youth
Nearly 23,000 youth are engaged with the justice system in Colorado each year; 6,500 for the first time, giving them less than a 20% chance of earning a diploma.*
Through the JES-CO community impact effort, we believe by partnering together with those most proximate to this challenge, we can remove barriers and dramatically increase educational attainment.
It takes a community to improve justice-engaged student outcomes. Join in the work of JES-CO and become a partner in uplifting our youth, helping them work through challenges and step into their future with confidence.
