About The Pikes Peak Learning Company: the importance of success in education, jobs, and LIFE
Young people have always lacked basic skills. Most of us struggled and learned
the hard way. But today, the traditional
safety nets like welfare, bankruptcy, unions, lifetime work, and pensions
are disappearing. To prepare our youth for this changing, challenging world, we developed Peak Mastery.
Our Team and Partners  Everyone has the right to benefit from the prosperity and opportunity this great country offers. Everyone has the right to own a home, find and keep a meaningful job, graduate from high school, pursue continuing education, stay out (or get out) of debt, develop a sense of purpose and mission for their lives, discover their interests and assets, develop skill and confidence to make effective choices, and have access to resources and learning that adapt to their individual needs. The mission of the Pikes Peak Learning Company is to provide youth and adults with these opportunities via effective, adaptable, and meaningful interactive learning systems for personal development. Our world today is complex and changing rapidly. Young people, including those in school or already in the workforce, have many more options. There’s more competition for fewer opportunities, and the consequences for getting it wrong are more severe. The working world is more technically challenging, and as the complexity and risks have increased, the expertise and resources to prepare young people have diminished. Teens and young families need better skills, knowledge, and motivation to succeed. They need a sense of direction for their lives and insight into where they can make a meaningful contribution. They need to be equipped to make right choices and have compelling alternatives to at-risk behaviors. They need the ability to set financial goals, live within a budget, and effectively manage their affairs. Without this competence and confidence in achieving basic independence, life can become too challenging, frustrating, and even desperate. The impact on individuals, families, and communities everywhere is dramatic, with this disenfranchisement and lack of future vision contributing to rising drop out rates, increasing debt, marital conflict, and ultimately, a host of problems for today’s youth and families. Many schools are beginning to offer real-world readiness skills, but large gaps remain. In addition, parents struggle to help their children with these skills, often because they lack these same skills themselves. And in many cases, young people – because of their very nature – will not listen to adults, even if those adults have the skills and resources. Our youth demand their own voice, their own power, and the right to make their own choices. We must inspire them, motivate them, guide them, and support them. This is our Mission.
