Our Mission
Building long-term, life-changing relationships with youth, equipping them to thrive and contribute to their community.
At Elevate Phoenix, we are dedicated to transforming the lives of at-risk youth in our community. Through our holistic approach of mentorship, accredited classes, and post-secondary support, we empower students to overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams.
OUR IMPACT on Future Leaders
If you consider yourself successful, chances are, somewhere along your journey there were people who encouraged or pushed you to reach your potential. It may have been a parent, teacher, relative, or a mentor. Unfortunately, many of today’s urban youth lack this positive guidance resulting in alarming school dropouts, teen pregnancy and higher incarceration rates. This is where Elevate Phoenix comes in.
We provide meaningful relationships, opportunities and experiences that shape students into the young adults we know they can become.
Our Seven Core Beliefs
- We believe that EVERY CHILD is of great worth and has the desire and potential to succeed.
- We believe that LONG-TERM, 24/7 RELATIONSHIPS with caring adults have proven positive outcomes in the lives of our youth.
- We believe that a HOLISTIC approach is essential for a strong and healthy future for our youth.
- We believe that FULL-TIME, SALARIED TEACHER-MENTORS WHO COME FROM SIMILAR BACKGROUNDS as the students can have a positive influence and make all the difference.
- We believe that the SERVANT LEADERSHIP, creating a culture of selflessness and service, is the foundation for leadership.
- We believe in the intrinsic DIGNITY of every person and act accordingly.
- We believe that COLLABORATION yields the best long-term results, acknowledging that the complex work in our urban centers cannot be done single handedly.
