What is this speaker’s series?

It’s a chance for you to learn how the community can advocate for an excellent education for all youth. We’re bringing nationally renowned speakers to your community — their stories we hope will inspire you to expect and demand more from your schools.

Who’s bringing these speakers to town?

This series has been created by a group of educational and non-profit organizations who want to make sure that Denver parents and communities have the best information to improve our schools. Sponsoring organizations include: A+ Denver, Metro Organizations for People (MOP), The Urban League, & The Donnell-Kay Foundation.

Why now?

Over the last several years, Denver Public Schools (DPS) has wrestled with how to create better schools; yet, despite these efforts, we continue to have a shortage of quality schools to serve DPS students.

  • What does that mean to your community, your family, and your kids?
  • What role can you play?
  • How can you demand more for Denver kids and create change?

Here’s how:

Our speaker’s series will help explain how to drive positive change in education. Come hear new ideas, ask questions, and learn what you can do.Learn more hereDownload a flyer to pass out
