KICKING OFF OUR 11TH YEAR OF CLASSROOM MENTORSHIP
We are officially into our first few weeks of school, and our students are already hard at work becoming the best versions of themselves.
Every day, our students experience hands-on activities under the guidance of their Teacher-Mentors, where they develop key life & character traits in our three Elevate classes:
- Intro to Elevate, where students begin examining their skills, identifying their goals, and developing their individual college & career plan
- Elevater, where we dig deeper into personal growth and leadership development, as well as serve our community as tutors to our elementary partner classes
- Elevate Beyond, where students further explore future career options while finalizing their Two-Year Action Plans for postsecondary success
Most importantly, our classroom offers a safe, supportive space where students can explore options for the future, discover their strengths and passions, and gain the tools to thrive after high school.
"[My Teacher-Mentor] helps a lot when it comes to motivation and inspiration, she doesn't criticize. She's made it clear she's only here to help." - Elevate student
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE: 10TH ANNUAL VISION BREAKFAST
Join us for our 10th annual Vision Breakfast at Englewood Christian Church on Thursday, October 29th. At this signature Elevate event, we will celebrate our wins from the past year and share our vision for the future of Elevate.
Join us for breakfast and engage with our Class of 2027 seniors as they share powerful stories of their Elevate experience. Your attendance shows these soon-to-be-graduates that you're in their corner and encourage them in this final year of high school.
Tap here to RSVP today, or contact Heather Encinia to inquire about sponsorship and volunteer opportunities. Let's make this the most impactful year of Elevate together.
