PUEBLO â Often times, youth serving sentences in facilities do not have access to college education, ultimately falling behind in society once released.
Colorado State University Pueblo is helping change that.
âEvery student deserves an education,â said Kathryn Starkey, the Adult Learning Lead Specialist at the university.
CSUP was approached by Colorado s Division of Youth Services about a year and a half ago, asking for help starting a program that would allow youths in their facilities long-term a way to get college credits. In the last year, the program has taken off. Over 20 students in facilities all across Colorado are actively taking courses through CSUP.
