Get Involved
♦ Mentor a Kid
By mentoring a Skyland Community High School student, you can share your own profession and passion—and positively affect a young life. You can provide a setting for a high school student to learn and grow in remarkable ways.
While our Internship sites serve as the backbone of our academic program and provide incredible learning opportunities for our students, we find that our Mentors often gain as much as our students through these experiences.
Our students generally work at Internship sites on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each Internship is carefully set up and led by a student’s Advisor, in order to support and maximize the experience for the student and the Mentor.
If you are interested in learning more about our Internship program, or about mentoring one or our students, please contact us.
♦ Present at a Pick Me Up
Pick Me Up (PMU) is the way that our entire school community comes together and sets a positive tone the day. Pick Me Up provides a context for general announcements about what’s going on in and around school, and for students to be exposed students to new ideas and experiences via performances, guest speakers, and presentations. Another important goal of Pick Me Up is to start the day on an inspiring and thought-provoking note, and to reserve a space and a time “shout” members of our community out for their accomplishments, and for demonstrating outstanding personal qualities.
Skyland is always looking for guests to join in our Pick Me Up. If you have something to share—as a professional, as a traveler, as an advocate for youth, as an inspirational speaker, as a college representative, as part of Denver’s community—please contact us and come for a visit. We would love to hear from you! For more information about Pick Me Ups, please contact us.
♦ Volunteer
Volunteering to work with our students is an outstanding way to support Skyland Community High School. We are always looking for members of the community to help with tutoring, field trips, classroom experiences, special learning opportunities and more. If you wish to contribute some time and energy to help Skyland, please contact us.
