The Need
transformational relationships
If you consider yourself successful, chances are, somewhere along your journey there were people who encouraged or pushed you towards your potential. It may have been a parent, a teacher, a relative, or a mentor.
Unfortunately, many of today’s urban youth lack this positive guidance, resulting in alarming dropout, teen pregnancy, and incarceration rates. That’s where Elevate comes in; with meaningful relationships, opportunities, and experiences that shape students into the young adults we know they can become.
Our Programs
meeting kids where they need us most
Elevate employs a holistic approach to meet each child’s needs. This means full-time Teacher-Mentors, year-round programming, cross-age mentoring, and a long-term relational approach in four areas: accredited classes, mentoring, adventure, and college & career.
The Impact
real lives changed
How has the Elevate model proven successful for 40 years? We create developmental assets, build strong character, inspire school success, and encourage community engagement.
91% of elevate students are enrolled in college, the military, a trade school, or in their first jobs.
Using this proven methodology in the toughest circumstances consistently results in 91% of Elevate students graduating and thriving in their chosen field after high school.
