Meet DSF Alum Xochitl Ramirez Amaro! Xochitl’s college journey began in the DSF Future Center at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Early College working closely with her DSF College Advisor. Today, Xochitl is serving as a DSF Campus Advisor at the University of Colorado Denver to help guide current DSF Scholars. This chapter of her life has come full circle thanks to the support of our Denver community, partners, and donors.
DSF is a nonprofit helping to make college possible and building the educational and economic future of Denver by collaborating with Denver Public Schools (DPS) high school students, families, and partners statewide to increase access and completion of post-high school learning, while also expanding generational exposure to career and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Get to know Xochitl and learn about her journey through DSF by watching her full story below.
“Senior year of high school can be challenging as students navigate their next steps. As a first-generation student, this was all very new to me. My journey to and through college looked different after my father passed away my senior year. But I was determined to make him proud by completing my degree. And the support from community members like you made it possible”, said Xochitl.
“Going from a student in the DSF Future Center to a DSF Alum and now beginning my career as a DSF Campus Advisor has been a full circle experience. DSF allowed me to see college as a possibility and helped take away a lot of the uneasiness, doubt, barriers, and challenges. Without DSF, I wouldn’t have been prepared. Starting at the DSF Future Center and then continuing forward set me up for life-long success.”
A donation to DSF is an investment in the successful future of thousands of Denver Public Schools (DPS) students and their families. Thank you for your support!
