The Matthews House is an organization that serves at-risk youth ages 16-21 that lack significant family support in their lives. They work to create opportunities for positive life change for these youth as they make the transition to living on their own. The Matthews House believes that, given the correct resources and support, these youth can take control of their lives and shape positive futures for themselves.
ACE Mentor Program of Colorado serves high school young people who want to explore careers in architecture, construction and engineering.
