Support High Five on Colorado Gives Day

It’s been an amazing year at High Five. Certainly, the number of youth, residents and nonprofits we’ve impacted is greater than ever. And we’re not done. In 2024, we’ll improve and increase educational opportunities for everyone in the valley, whether that be volunteer events to gain experience on professional video productions and have fun, new and exciting workshops, consistent coverage of local government and elections, and so much more.

Please join us in making this future a reality by making a donation for Colorado Gives Day, Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2023. https://www.coloradogives.org/organization/HighFiveAccessMedia. Together, we can make our community an amazing place to live, work and play.
