Monumental Impact Approved as an Enterprise Zone Contribution Project

We’re proud to announce that our Entrepreneurship & Career Readiness Programs are now officially recognized as a Pikes Peak Enterprise Zone (EZ) Contribution Project!

💼 Program Focus

Through this initiative, Monumental Impact expands career-readiness and entrepreneurship opportunities for high school and college students, adult learners, and local entrepreneurs by:

  • Providing student and college-age internships and project experiences

These efforts are designed to build durable skills, create internship pipelines, accelerate small business growth, and expand workforce readiness across the region.
