September 2026 News
September marked an exciting beginning for The First Minute Project. From launching our 501(c)(3) nonprofit and raising more than $13,000 in our first month to welcoming new community ambassadors and beginning conversations with school districts, our mission is gaining momentum.
We also connected with a U.S. Representative to begin drafting federal legislation for “The First Minute Act” and began discussions with Jefferson County Public Schools about a potential partnership and pilot program for our foothills schools.
