2019 Past Project

AGC Charities Operation Opening Doors Project

AGC Charities’ Autodesk Operation Opening Doors program is working with the Colorado Emerging Leaders Council, the young professionals group of the Colorado Contractors Association, to renovate a playground operated by a Colorado Springs group that provides early childhood learning opportunities for impoverished families. The group, the CPCD Giving Children a Head Start, works with three to five-year old children to give them a needed academic boost before they enroll in full-time school programs. A large part of this early learning is done through directed play on playground equipment. But one of the playgrounds the group operates in Colorado Springs is too small and physically constrained to be fully-effective.

The young professionals with the Colorado Contractors Association are taking on the challenge of doubling the size of the playground. They are working hard to line up local contractors to help execute the project. But they need contributions from members across the country to cover the cost of materials and work they can’t get donated. More important, help these young professionals show people in Colorado and across the country just how much our industry gives back to our communities.
