NO ONE GETS THERE ALONE…

That’s why Elevate shows up

Our Mission

Elevate New York’s mission is building long-term, life-changing relationships with youth, equipping them to thrive and contribute to their community. We believe that every child is of great worth and has the desire and potential to succeed, together we can develop the next generation of strong leaders.

Transformational Relationships

Elevate New York incorporates 13 vital character qualities and life skills into our daily classroom curriculum through a variety of writing exercises, reading materials, and group discussions. These qualities and skills are designed to develop the personal character and capabilities needed for success.

Meeting kids where they need us

Elevate New York students develop teamwork and leadership skills year-round by participating in outdoor activities after-school, on weekends, and during the summer. These programs allow students to build confidence in their own abilities by exploring experiences outside their comfort zone.

Real lives changed

We create developmental assets, build strong character, inspire school success, and encourage community engagement.
