Catalyst Society packs backpacks for our Back to School Bash.

In partnership with the Denver Broncos, Mile High United Way wants to ensure the kids and families in our community have everything they need to start the school year right. Our Catalyst Society members are an integral part of the success of this annual event.

Catalyst member, Bethany volunteering with our Bridging the Gap program.

"[Mile High] United Way has shed light for me on the challenges our community faces... I was thrilled to learn about the Bridging the Gap program which helps connect young adults leaving the foster care system to supportive services. I had the opportunity to help some of these young people polish their professional skills through exercises like mock interviews. It was good practice for me too!"
