ABOUT MHYC
Our Mission
Help youth make a difference in themselves and their community through meaningful service opportunities and educational experiences.
Our Vision
Youth are empowered to serve, steward, and succeed.
Our History
Mile High Youth Corps (MHYC) was founded as Year One, Inc. by Josie Heath, rooted in the tradition of the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s.
In 2000, Year One changed its name to Mile High Youth Corps to better reflect its mission and goals.
In 2009, Mile High Youth Corps merged with Colorado Legends and Legacies Youth Corps of Colorado Springs. This merger created an MHYC regional office in Colorado Springs and expanded service opportunities to 7 additional counties in the Southern Front Range.
During MHYC’s 30+ year history, the Corps has successfully transitioned from a small, seasonal, neighborhood-based organization to a comprehensive, year-round regional agency. Today, MHYC engages over 250 Corpsmembers a year, serves 24 counties throughout Metropolitan Denver and the Southern Front Range.
Where We Serve
Our Corpsmembers serve in communities across Colorado.
