About YEAR ONE INC

This profile is for Year One Inc (EIN 84-1182631), which operates publicly as Mile High Youth Corps (MHYC). MHYC is a Denver-based nonprofit social enterprise that employs and trains young adults (typically ages 18–24) in hands-on conservation, construction, energy & water efficiency, and health & wellness career pathways. Over the last 2–3 years MHYC has expanded year-round programming across a regional service area and continued measurable community impact — completing tens of thousands of service hours, retrofitting low-income households with energy and water conservation measures, and delivering YouthBuild construction and credentialing opportunities for opportunity youth. The organization maintains formal AmeriCorps and YouthBuild partnerships and continues to operate audited financials and public impact reporting.
