Gateway Program

The goal of the Gateway Program is to reduce recidivism and provide positive outcomes for individuals involved with the criminal justice system. This is a program specifically designed to assist ex-offenders in reconnecting with their career, community, and family. It addresses professional, educational, and social goals in an innovative and structured academic environment.

Prospective students are referred to Red Rocks Community College by their probation office, parole office, GED instructor, or case manager. Students are required to attend an orientation designed to introduce them to their academic environment, assist them in applying for financial aid, and familiarize them with the expectations required of college students.

An Education Coordinator works with highly qualified instructors and tutors to provide academic advising, technical assistance, supportive services, and career planning in both classroom and individual settings.

"Here is your chance to walk down the right road. By attending the Gateway program you are showing the initiative to change. We are also here for support so don't hesitate to come on in! We know all of you will be successful and were also happy to expand our Gateway family. Good luck, you're on your way to being a better you. "
