How to Engage

Team building & supporting philanthropic values

When your employees come together for the good of DPS, they make a powerful difference in the communities where they work and live. That builds camaraderie and company pride.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Ensuring our community leaders and businesses are engaged helps provide stronger and better supports for students for years to come and helps Denver prosper.

Community engagement

Successful schools mean vibrant, thriving communities. We work to create connections that power both.
