April 2, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Phipps Mansion

OpenWorld Learning will be hosting its first youth leadership symposium on Friday, April 2, 2010. The symposium is being held to honor those students who have communicated a strong desire to be leaders within and outside of OpenWorld Learning. Students who attend OpenWorld Learning during the school year will qualify for a space at the symposium. To qualify for a space, students must write an essay reflecting on their knowledge of leadership, why they believe they can be a strong leader and who their role model is in the state of Colorado. The winner of the essay contest will win a $250 starter scholarship fund for college from College Invest and will have the opportunity to read their essay at the Leadership Brunch. Students who attend will have the opportunity to learn more about leaders of today and what it takes to be a highly successful leader. Business leaders will have the opportunity to share their perspectives with students attending and be available to answer students' questions regarding this important topic.

April 2, 2010 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Phipps Mansion

The Leadership Brunch is an opportunity for today's Colorado leaders to interact with the future leaders of tomorrow. Top business leaders will be invited to purchase tickets for the brunch for both themselves and a student. During the brunch students will not only have the opportunity to share their experiences with their host, but will also have the chance to ask questions about leadership and then hear from a well respected leader from our local community Dr. Stephen M. Jordan, President of Metropolitan State College of Denver.

If you would like to buy a brunch ticket for yourself and a future leader for $100, please contact Tiffany Deines at 303-633-4185 or tdeines@openworldlearning.org .

OpenWorld Learning students at the Click on Us! event 2009

With almost 200 people in attendance, OpenWorld Learning's 4th annual Click on Us! Gala was a success! Throughout the evening's reception, guests interacted with students from Kepner Middle School, Archuleta and Castro Elementary schools. The students passionately shared their MicroWorlds and Robotics projects with politicians, principals, and many leaders of our community.

This year's event netted $65,000 to support the programs and impact that OpenWorld Learning is making in the lives of children.
