We're Here to Build Leaders

At Elevate USA, our vision is to build generations of thriving leaders. We do this through hiring and training full-time, salaried Teacher Mentors – who come from similar backgrounds as their students – to show up for kids in four key ways: accredited classes, mentoring, college & career planning, and adventure.

All it takes is one positive, long-term mentor to change the trajectory of a young person’s life and unlock their potential to become a thriving leader.
