Colorado Springs Teen Court
2025-09-15 16:30 - 18:30 UTC
Every Monday 4:30 – 6:30 PM
Members of the Xi Pi Chapter provide mentors and life skills facilitators for Colorado Springs Teen Court. Teen Court is a unique and highly successful approach to juvenile crime. In Colorado Springs, this independent non-profit program provides an alternative to the regular Municipal Court sentencing for first-time misdemeanor offenses committed by young people between 10 and 18 years of age.
The purpose of Teen Court is to hold youth offenders accountable for their actions and assist them in making better life choices through relevant sentencing options. The theme of this initiative is “Empowering Our Youth Through Restorative Justice for a Brighter Future.”
The Uplift Foundation provides an annual grant to support the ongoing services provided by Colorado Springs Teen Court.

African American Youth Leadership Conference
2025-09-12
Dates & Times: TBD
For over 20 years, The Uplift Foundation has been a significant sponsor of the African American Youth Leadership Conference (AAYLC), in terms of both financial and active participation. The African American Youth Leadership Conference, since its inception on January 16, 1993, continues to be a hallmark forum in addressing many of the challenges facing African American youth during their progression to adulthood.
The Conference’s primary sponsor is the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., who, in turn, enlists the expertise and leadership of all who are dedicated to furthering the education and intellectual potential of our youth. The mission of AAYLC is to educate, empower, and enlighten youth to become critical thinkers, responsible citizens, and embrace the traditions, histories, and cultures of their communities. The intended participants are students of all ethnicities from 6th – 12th grade.
In recent years, Colorado College has also collaborated with the myriad of sponsors and contributors in ensuring the students receive the utmost accommodations (Colorado College campus) and Mentors for the day. The Uplift Foundation, through the Omega Men of Xi Pi Chapter, provides “hands-on” classroom instructions, workshop presentations, and general administrative and leadership roles as necessary towards ensuring that the annual Conference is a success.
