Mission of the ACMCYA

To identify and recognize teenagers who have overcome obstacles and risen to challenges life has presented. This award is unique because it encompasses youth in traditional classroom settings, group homes, alternative schools, and emancipated youth.  

This program provides business, community and civic leaders an opportunity to actively demonstrate their support for the young people in our communities. If you would like to know more about supporting the youth, please call 303-795-4630 or email Cecilia Zapata.
  

Scholarships and Youth Recognition
