DENVER ~ Serve Colorado, part of the Office of Lieutenant Governor Dianne Primavera and which oversees Colorado's AmeriCorps programming, has been awarded the 2023 America's Service Commission (ASC) Innovation Award in the category Innovation in Partnerships. ASC is a nonprofit, nonpartisan association representing and promoting the 52 state service commissions across the United States and territories.
The ASC Innovation Awards celebrates efforts that redefine the landscape of public service and community engagement. Serve Colorado's recognition in this category signifies its exceptional work in forging collaborations to advance career opportunities, empower members statewide, and leverage national service to make significant impacts in our communities.
Lt. Governor Primavera expressed her pride for Serve Colorado's accomplishments: "Serve Colorado remains a powerful force for good in our state. By bringing together service-minded individuals and sending them across the state, members are able to carry out projects that strengthen the local communities they're serving in while gaining valuable hands-on work experience."

Since 2019, Serve Colorado has doubled their operational programs from 11 to 24. In the last three years alone, Serve Colorado has secured $23.5 million in external funds through their partnerships, amplifying their impact and empowering them to serve communities with heightened efficacy. Under the leadership of Executive Director John Kelly—who received the 2022 ASC Innovation & Leadership Award for Outstanding Commission Executive Director—the team has launched several new programs such as: The Colorado Tutoring Corps; The AmeriCorps Alternative Licensure Teacher Pathway program; The Colorado COVID Containment Response Corps—which won ASC's 2021 Outstanding Service Program Award; The Colorado Healthcare Corps; The Colorado Climate Corps; And the first licensed apprenticeship AmeriCorps program in the state.
John Kelly expressed his gratitude for this award: "We are deeply honored to be recognized as the winner in the Innovation in Partnerships category...This achievement is a celebration of the hard work and dedication of our team, as well as the collaborative spirit of the communities we serve."

Serve Colorado continues to invest in Colorado's future workforce through programs that help service members launch meaningful careers such as their Teacher Licensure pathway—a collaboration with CDE (Colorado Department of Education), The Colorado Education Initiative, Corps for a Change, and The Public Education and Business Coalition—which operates with ESSER funding of $4.9 million. This program supports AmeriCorps members in earning their teacher licenses during their term of service facilitating their transition into education post-service while helping address educator shortages within our state.
In addition to this program, Serve Colorado signed a memorandum of understanding with The Colorado National Guard this past spring to promote joint program recruitment with a goal of creating a Guard-specific AmeriCorps service crew allowing service members to stack service benefits and invest in their careers.
