Lindsey Myers followed her dreams to become a Certified College and Career Counselor to pursue her passion and talent in working with youth in rural Colorado. Helping youth discover and realize their career path has been a recurring theme in the many life and educational experiences Lindsey has had since growing up in the small town of Winter Park, Colorado. Lindsey has a unique understanding of t
he recruiting process both as a student-athlete, playing Division II volleyball for University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS) and as a Coach for UCCS while pursuing her post-graduate degree. As a Fellow for El Pomar Foundation in Colorado Springs, she managed several programs such as the Student Leadership Council to develop student leaders in 11 different universities throughout Colorado and the Northwest Regional Council. The Northwest Regional Council was comprised of Grand, Routt, Mesa, Moffat, Rio Grande, and Garfield counties and focused funding towards business educational programs, which has evolved into a program called the Reach Your Peak Pipeline. Following work in Colorado Springs, Lindsey moved to the Vail Valley where she gained six years of invaluable experience with high school and college students on afterschool programming, internships, career exploration, and college scholarships as a Program Manager with Vail Valley Foundation’s YouthPower365 in Avon, Colorado. Along with this work she also evaluated all cradle to career programs for success and efficacy within the organization. Lindsey received her bachelor’s degree from UCCS in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing and a Master’s degree in Public Administration with an emphasis in Nonprofit Management. Her education continued by pursuing a Certificate in Career Development Facilitation from Colorado Mountain College in Edwards, Colorado; and after a year of exciting work, she received a Certificate in College Counseling from University of California-Los Angeles Extension in 2017.

“During my Junior year of high school, I started to think about my future in college. I wasn’t sure how to approach the recruiting system. Lindsey Myers has helped me impress coaches and give them a positive outlook towards me by building up a strong profile about me and my passion for soccer. She has also helped me find Universities that best fit me based on what I like. This has made my approach towards college soccer a fun and educational experience, which has helped me prepare for my future in a University I want to attend.” – Gustavo, Class of 2018
“When Lindsey and I met we discussed pursuing my steel and HVAC Fabrication interests. She gave me a few websites to get on to see my interests. We also talked about how a two-year program can lead into a four-year (Bachelors) business degree program.” – Will, Class of 2018
“So far I feel I am starting to find my way through the transition into college. Before I started working with Lindsey, I was intimidated and didn’t know the next step. I kind of knew the long-term outcome of what I wanted to accomplish after college, but I didn’t know how to get there. With these sessions I now feel I am starting to see the steps I need to take to get to where I want to be.” – Jake, Class of 2018
“I have working with Lindsey for about two months now. Before I started working with her, I had a few ideas of where I wanted to go to college, but I never knew how to get there. Once we started working together, I was able to grasp upon the idea of college and what I needed to do. Lindsey has helped me find what I wanted in a college. We’ve looked at several colleges I was interested in and she introduced me to ones she thought I would fit with as well. Now I have a solid idea of where I want to go and what I want to do in college and after college. Currently, we are working on the application process and looking into scholarships. Throughout the past two months, Lindsey has helped me a lot with my college decisions and I am excited to continue working with her.” - Isabella, Class of 2018
