First-time experiences create more than memories – they create confidence.
Elevate mission is rooted in the belief that every child is inherently valuable and has the desire and potential to succeed.
Unfortunately, many urban youth do not have access to resources or experiences that allow them to grow into the people we know they can be. When facing unthinkable obstacles like poverty and violence, positive growth opportunities can be few and far between.
At Elevate, we see students have first-time experiences every single day. As we love to say, to be it, they have to see it, and the power of first-time experiences helps our students see new opportunities and paradigms for the first time
From Sports and adventure experiences to touring colleges and career exploration, we see the power of new experiences in our students' lives.
By learning to try new things in the classroom and in the community, our students gain social-emotional skills, learn to handle unfamiliar situations, and change their self-perception for the better.
"We teach kids how to handle hard faster and better, that way they can take that out into their life and handle hard situations in a better way."
-Remus Woods, Teacher-Mentor
Any experience, big or small, can be life-changing – especially when such experiences have always felt out of reach.
That’s why we strive to provide life-changing experiences that show students the endless possibilities available to them.
By opening doors to career exploration, physical and social-emotional challenges, team-oriented activities, and healthy, supportive relationships, we give our students the tools to pursue the bright futures they deserve.
