About
The Homegrown Talent Initiative (HTI) pilot was originally implemented by Colorado Succeeds and the Colorado Education Initiative (CEI) and supported by local and national philanthropy invested in improving education for Colorado learners.The pilot districts demonstrated the power of rural communities to become champions for systemic change and serve as proof points for high-quality, career-connected learning. However, there is more work remaining to achieve true innovation and transformation.
New partnerships have arisen in the wake of HTIs initial success. Two organizations have joined Colorado Succeeds and CEI in support of rural Colorado school districts: Empower Schools and Lyra Colorado. Together, we have authored a report on the collaborative partnerships behind this work. Keep an eye out for what we’re doing next!
