True North Youth Program's 2025 highlights showcase a comprehensive array of offerings, with 48 programs delivered and 414 total participations, including free access for students across three school districts and homeschoolers. Throughout the school year, True North provided weekly academic tutoring (Base Camp) to 38 students, offered 28 sessions within the Telluride High School AVID program focusing on 11th and 12th graders, and delivered weekly in-school support in the Nucla Senior Seminar and the Norwood Tech Building. Key program areas included extensive college and career preparation, emphasizing career exploration, resume building, cover letter writing, interview preparation, and connections to apprenticeships. The program supported college applications, visited regional college campuses, and awarded 11 new scholarships to graduating seniors, while continuing to support 23 college students from previous years. Through its Jobs Connect 2025 program, True North partnered with 14 businesses from Telluride to Naturita to secure summer jobs for local teens, also providing scholarships for Trades School. True North's Trading Post, located in the Norwood schools' tech building, offered teens a wealth of donated goods, including clothes (even prom dresses), mountain bikes, snowboards, shoes, games, and free winter coats. Additional programming featured 12 day trips utilizing the new Red Van for regional experiences and higher education campus tours, 5 outdoor education programs (river trip, Nordic skiing, hiking, outdoor leadership), 6 arts programs fostering creative expression and appreciation, and 4 service-learning programs emphasizing community engagement and environmental stewardship. Collaborations were significant, with 13 programs involving 6 different organizations, expanding reach, sharing resources, and strengthening community ties.
