The start of a new school year always brings an electric energy, but this year at Elevate Phoenix, that energy has become a powerful, unstoppable momentum. We are not just growing; we are accelerating our mission to bring life-changing mentorship, hope, and opportunity to Arizona’s most vulnerable youth. This is a season of unprecedented expansion, driven by a growing family of dedicated staff, passionate board leaders, and the resilient young people we serve.
We are proud to announce one of our most significant milestones yet: the official launch of our 5th Pipeline at Trevor Browne High School in the Phoenix School District!
Our 5th Pipeline is LIVE: Welcome, Trevor Browne High School
When we talk about an “Elevate Pipeline,” we are talking about a continuous, deeply embedded system of support that follows a student through elementary school, middle school, high school, and beyond. It is where dedicated Teacher-Mentors enter the school environment daily to build trusted relationships and teach essential character and life skills, which equips students to graduate with a clear vision for the future.
The opening of our 5th Pipeline at Trevor Browne High School marks a profound increase in our capacity to change lives. This expansion is more than just adding a location, it’s about reaching hundreds and eventually thousands of new students who deserve to be seen, guided, and empowered to fulfill their potential. By integrating our program into the fabric of the Trevor Browne community, we are ensuring that more young people across our city have access to the resources and role models necessary to thrive in an increasingly complex world.
This commitment to scaling our impact is the heart of our mission, And it confirms the effectiveness of our mission to build long-term, life-changing relationships with urban youth. The excitement from the students and staff at Trevor Browne is profound, and we are ready to continue building a powerful legacy together.
The Momentum is Unstoppable
With the launch of our 5th Pipeline, the expansion of our dedicated staff, and the addition of inspiring leaders to our board, the momentum at Elevate Phoenix is truly unstoppable.
We are united by the belief that every young person deserves a future filled with hope, opportunity, and success. Our community of students in the classroom to the donors in the boardroom are working in concert to make that belief a reality.
The Power of a Growing Team and Visionary Leadership
Our expansion would not be possible without a matching growth in the strength and sustainability of our organization. This school year, we have welcomed new staff members who are focused specifically on long-term impact, ensuring that as we grow, our foundation remains rock-solid. These talented individuals are dedicated to streamlining our operations, bolstering our resources, and guaranteeing that every program we launch is built to last.
Complementing our dedicated staff are the newest additions to our Development Board, a group of community powerhouses who champion our students’ potential. We are honored to welcome:
- Frank Sanders, NFL Sports Analyst and Retired Arizona Cardinals Wide Receiver. Frank’s deep connection to the Arizona community and his understanding of mentorship through sports and professional life bring an invaluable perspective to our board.
- Heather St. Peter, M.D., Medical Director at Gawley Plastic
Surgery & North Scottsdale Outpatient Surgery Center, and Founder of Unicorn Philanthropy Foundation. Dr. St. Peter’s medical expertise, philanthropic vision, and commitment to creating opportunities align perfectly with our goal of holistic student support.
Their leadership and expertise will be instrumental in expanding our reach and securing the resources needed to sustain our five pipelines for years to come.
