Annual reports

Entering our second decade of service, Elevate continues to redefine economic mobility for Indianapolis youth through holistic mentoring built on the foundation of life-changing relationships. Not only our students but also us, the adults – teacher-mentors, executive team members, Board members, corporate and community partners, volunteers – learn, grow, and change, becoming the best version of ourselves. Zeroed in on that potential, we set big goals for all of us that we expect to reach.
