At Elevate, we firmly believe that no one gets there alone. Thankfully, we have an incredible network of community partners who share our mission to help undersupported youth find their limitless potential.
Together, we are building strong individuals, businesses, and communities for our city.
STRONGER INDIVIDUALS
Elevate aims to open doors for our students to find their limitless potential and confidently pursue their goals after high school. We are able to do so with the support of our community partners.
These local businesses and organizations help our students prepare for future success by offering:
- Vision trips
- Guest speaker presentations
- Mentorship
- Mock interviews and career prep
- Professional insights
With their help, we help students build crucial life and character skills to achieve personal and financial success after high school.
STRONGER LOCAL BUSINESSES
Did you know that 92% of employers believe that job candidates lack the necessary soft skills to succeed in the workforce? This is why Elevate prioritizes character and life skills training to foster holistic growth. From our classroom curriculum to Sports & Adventure experiences, our students are constantly building skills like:
- Communication
- Teamwork
- Healthy Risk Taking
- Leadership
Our students also complete internships and job shadowing with our community partners to understand what skills they will need to pursue and succeed in their chosen career path.
When our partners invest in Elevate students, they are investing in their future employees. And, by engaging with Elevate, they see proof that our students have the skills necessary to become a strong part of a professional team.
This college & career readiness model doesn’t just benefit our students - it benefits our partners, too!
STRONGER COMMUNITIES
At Elevate, we see ourselves as a “big family.” Our model is structured to help us build up ourselves and each other. Our students work hard to achieve their own goals, but we encourage them to reach beyond even that.
In our accredited class curriculum, our students spend their Intro to Elevate course learning how to elevate themselves, their peers, and their communities. As they move through the program, they gain opportunities like service learning and cross-age mentorship, where they can put these lessons into practice.
By prioritizing opportunities to give back, we strive to help our students become contributing members of their communities, where their Elevate training can continue to benefit more and more people in our city and beyond.
