Supporting Students Academically and Beyond With Our Mentoring Program

Many urban youth in New England face significant challenges that can hinder their potential for growth and success. Few positive role models, limited access to resources, and systemic inequalities make it harder for underprivileged youth to succeed. This is true in many areas — and certainly in many urban schools.

At Elevate New England, our Teacher / Youth Mentoring Program stands in this education gap. We hope you’ll stand with us.

About Elevate New England

We at Elevate New England want to see all youth succeed, regardless of background or circumstances. The teacher-mentors who partner with us have the opportunity to build relationships through various settings due to our multiple programs. Perhaps none of our programs is more important than our accredited classes. School-based mentoring programs provide help where it’s needed the most — in the classroom.

Our Approach to preparing Urban Youth for life after high school

At Elevate New England, we believe that youth need support beyond high school graduation. Our approach to workforce development programs for youth for career success includes:

Developing Essential Job Skills

One of the core components of our program is the development of essential job skills. We teach students practical skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and time management. These skills are crucial for success not only in the classroom, but in any workplace and help our students stand out in the competitive job market.

Internships & Job Shadowing Opportunities

We work with community employers to match youth with internships and job shadowing opportunities. These programs help to motivate and excite at-risk youth by demonstrating that there are companies and people in the world who are equally committed to giving at-risk youth a chance to build a successful career.

Resume Building and Interview Preparation

We offer opportunities so that youth can have positive entries on their resumes, prove their capabilities, and become eligible candidates for jobs of their own choosing.This includes practice with interviewing, guidance about acceptable workplace behaviors, and how to succeed with a good work ethic.

Career Guidance from Teacher-Mentors

Offering one-on-one career guidance, our teacher-mentors help students discover their aptitudes, explore interests, and set actionable and reachable goals. We build strong, trusting relationships that can extend into the future for as long as the student finds the mentorship helpful.
