Dear Friends of Opus,

Opus Creative Industries, a workforce initiative of the Colorado Springs Community Cultural Collective (CSCCC), will cease operations effective immediately.

Over the last year Opus, which was home to hands-on workforce training programs in culinary arts, media production and early childhood enrichment and education, trained and placed more than hundreds of individuals in their chosen professional pathway.

While supported through generous philanthropy and revenue generating events, most resources funding the Opus Creative Industries initiative were public grant dollars. Public resources to continue operations and ensure successful outcomes are currently lacking, and the Board of Directors and leadership have made the difficult choice to end the initiative and cease operations at the CSCCC.

We are deeply proud of the positive impact this work has had in the lives of program participants, and for our business community which has embraced much needed new employees with real life experience. We could not have done any of this work without you and your partnership.

While Opus Creative Industries will no longer be in operation, conversations are underway with partners who may be interested in assuming these initiatives.

We thank you for your partnership and support of this work. The lives impacted, businesses supported and families uplifted speak volumes to you and your inspired generosity.

Thank you for sharing this journey. Our paths will cross again soon- for now…..

Grateful for your friendship, trust and shared vision.
Linda, Opus Team and Opus Board of Directors
