Mile High Kids & Community Development Inc. (MHK) is a nonprofit organization committed to providing high-quality early education, after-school care, youth mentorship, workforce development, and holistic family engagement programs. We serve children ages 3–18, along with their families—offering a unique opportunity to reach and support families during the most formative years of life.

Our primary focus is children ages 3–5, a critical period identified by the CDC and Harvard’s Center on the Developing Child, during which over 90% of a child’s brain development occurs. Early investment during these years creates lasting impact.

With your support, MHK can expand access to high-quality early education for underserved families—ensuring more children enter kindergarten ready to learn, and more families stay engaged throughout their child’s educational journey.

Your donation helps fund:

Student Learning Supplies & Activities
Healthier meals
Family wellness programs
Teacher recruitment and professional development
Leadership and support staff
Wraparound services delivered directly in the communities where children live

Kindergarten Readiness = Graduation Readiness

Children who start school ready to learn are:

4x more likely to read proficiently by third grade
Less likely to need special education or be retained
More likely to graduate high school and pursue higher education or job training
Less likely to engage in criminal behavior or substance use

Our families often include young mothers navigating challenges like housing instability, transportation barriers, and rising food costs. By supporting MHK, you’re not just helping children—you’re helping entire families stabilize and thrive.

When we invest in early education, we reduce the need for costly interventions later—like special education, dropout recovery, juvenile justice, and public welfare.

MHK programs provide:

High-quality early childhood education
Holistic family support
Community engagement to address poverty, food insecurity, and lack of access to resources

Too often, children who fall behind early are labeled instead of supported. Many face disproportionate suspensions and expulsions—as early as pre-K—setting them on a path toward dropout, incarceration, and long-term hardship.

Your gift helps change that story.

When you support Mile High Kids, you’re investing in equity, opportunity, and a brighter future for our children, families, and communities.
