In partnership with Arapahoe Community College’s Workforce & Community Programs, the Colorado Jazz Ambassadors program is dedicated to nurturing young talent in the Denver Metro Area. This program offers middle and high school students of all musical skill levels the opportunity to enhance their musicianship and deepen their appreciation for jazz. Designed as a supplementary experience to a student’s school band, the Colorado Jazz Ambassadors requires participants to be actively enrolled in their school’s band program (with the exception of homeschool students). We strongly encourage all members to honor their commitments to school-sponsored music activities.
