Within the Executive Division, the Communications, Outreach and Community Engagement Division engages with key audiences to advance CDHE's mission, visibility, strategic goals, and communications objectives. The Division also includes outreach, and community engagement – to inspire collaboration, garner resources and leverage impact. The Outreach and Community Engagement team works directly with school districts, educators, foster care students, students experiencing homelessness and students and families in navigating the questions that come as students decide on a path beyond high school.
The team assists Coloradans in completing financial aid applications, provides information on grants, scholarships and other funding sources, career planning, filling out college applications and highlights the importance of pursuing a postsecondary path.
