Mile High Youth Corps (MHYC) is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization established in 1992 to give youth ages 18 to 24 a chance to earn an income and learn hands‑on job skills while serving in their communities. In its first year, 20 youth served Denver neighborhoods through a single 10‑week program. Today, MHYC engages over 250 youth (called Corps members) every year through several comprehensive programs that integrate paid work experience on community service projects with leadership development, career exploration, and education.

During its 30 year history, Mile High Youth Corps has grown from a small, seasonal, neighborhood‑based organization to a comprehensive, year‑round, regional program serving 23 counties from two regional offices, Metro Denver and the Southern Front Range.
