Weld County 2025 Successes and Demographics

Graduates & Students: At the close of 2025, three Weld County single parents graduated from college, earning the following degrees: BA Spanish from UNC; AA Psychology from Front Range Community College, currently pursuing a BA Psychology at UNC; AAS Radiologic Technology from Aims Community College. Nine Weld single parents were in the Discover Stage determining their career path, major, and college to attend.

Local Scholarships: Five Weld County Participants attending Aims Community College received $3,500 scholarships in May 2025 from Volunteers Enriching Weld.
Staff Presence: Staff held office hours at Employment Services of Weld County and the Center for Student Well-being at UNC. We worked with Aims Community College and UNC to coordinate the referral of single parent students to our program.
Work-Based Learning Connections: We connected five Weld participants to a total of eight work-based learning opportunities with businesses and nonprofits.
Community Engagement: At 2025 Weld Project Connect, we conducted career assessments for 24 attendees, evaluated their career assessment results, discussed career paths, aligned degrees to attain those careers, reviewed community college options, and discussed financial aid.

Supporting Single Parents in Weld County
In 2026, Project Self‑Sufficiency will serve 30 single parents in Weld County, helping them complete education, advance careers, and move off government assistance toward lasting economic independence. To meet this need, we must raise $386,000—including $114,000 for wrap‑around supports like housing, transportation, and childcare, and $272,000 for intensive case management that keeps families on track. These investments provide the stability families need to succeed.
