2025 Graduate Spotlight: Laura & Carlos

When families dare to dream big and have the right support behind them, transformation is possible. At Jeffco Prosperity Partners (JPP), we’ve seen time and again how dedication, resilience, and community can unlock a brighter future. Laura and Carlos are living proof. With a shared vision for a better life, they stepped into JPP ready to grow, learn, and lead their family toward lasting change. Their journey is a powerful reminder that when you invest in yourself, you pave the way for generations to thrive.

Laura and her partner Carlos joined JPP with ambitious goals to advance their education, careers, and financial independence. Their commitment to personal growth has set their family on a path toward greater stability and opportunity. 

Laura earned her Child Development Associate (CDA) certification and landed a job at Head Start, where she now supports other families on their educational journeys. She also completed a Cybersecurity Certification from the University of Denver, expanding her skills and opening doors to exciting new career opportunities. Carlos also achieved a major milestone in his IT career by securing a business management position, furthering their family’s economic success. 

Through JPP’s small group workshops, Laura gained the tools to improve her credit, build healthy habits and routines, and manage finances. Along the way, her family found more than just resources; they found a caring community where they feel truly connected, supported, and included. 

Laura and Carlos are proud of how far they’ve come and are excited for the future. Looking ahead, they’re focused on continuing their education, growing in their careers, and, most importantly, inspiring their children to achieve their own hopes and dreams.
