Mission

ELEVATE Orlando’s mission is to equip urban youth to graduate high school with a plan for the future. Founded in 2008, ELEVATE Orlando is an educational, non-profit organization designed to meet the complex needs of at-risk youth by providing character classes and life skills training through the public-school system with the goal of empowering youth to become successful, responsible adults. ELEVATE currently serves more than 1,500 underserved youth between the ages of 6-19 in 14 different Orange County Public Schools. ELEVATE’s unique, proven model uses full-time Teacher/Mentors who facilitate 3 interdependent program areas: 1) Instruction in the Public School - ELEVATE Orlando currently employs 14 Teacher/ Mentors who teach daily elective, credited classes at Evans, Oak Ridge, and Jones high schools five days per week. The curriculum is based on 13-character qualities and life skills with over 100 learning objectives. ELEVATE also teaches daily classes at four local middle schools which feed into the high schools we serve, creating a continuous, five-year pipeline, leading to high school graduation. ELEVATE's high school students are also equipped to teach character qualities and life skills to students at "feeder" elementary schools. 2) Mentoring -- Each Teacher/Mentor spends 50+ hours per month mentoring students outside of the classroom through one-on-one bonding, leadership camps, service projects, college tours, and adventure activities. ELEVATE staff make themselves available to students. This consistent presence in the lives of our youth is unique to our approach and directly impacts our effectiveness. 3) Post-Secondary Preparation – ELEVATE’s main focus is to prepare our students for personal advancement after high school graduation by helping them develop a successful plan for the future. 100% of ELEVATE seniors receive one-on-one post-secondary counseling sessions and work with their Teacher/Mentors to complete college or trade-school applications, scholarship/financial aid applications, and military applications based on their area of interest and personal goals. The ELEVATE Orlando program emphasis involves building character, leadership, and skill sets, which will help foster a successful future for our students, their families and the community of Orlando, Florida. Our goal as an organization is to facilitate conversations, activities, and a curriculum that guides urban youth towards graduation and a plan for their future after high school.
