our programs
Elevate’s unique, relationship-based approach employs staff who represent the community they serve. Part teacher, part mentor, part life coach, our dedicated team members make themselves available 24/7 to build relationships with students. The strength of these relationships is developed through four key program components.
ACCREDITED CLASSES
MENTORING
ADVENTURE
COLLEGE & CAREER
what makes us unique
- Teacher-mentors are hired from the community or similar backgrounds, so they can relate to the students and serve as role models.
- Our teacher-mentors work with students from year to year, allowing for a “pipeline” of influence from 2nd through 12th grade.
- We focus students’ attention and energy into four program areas: Accredited Classes, Mentoring, Adventure, and College & Career.
- Cross-age mentoring allows high school students to visit a local elementary school each week to teach the same character qualities and life skills they are learning in class; becoming leaders and role models.
- Our year-round programming ensures students stay engaged.
