Alongside students, teacher-mentors counter disadvantages, close gaps, and remove obstacles that heighten vulnerability to the harmful consequences of starting life with significant deterrents and limited opportunities to achieve upward economic mobility and to develop into leaders.

Grounded in Elevate USA’s 40-year+ model that anchors all efforts in mentoring relationships, our education nonprofit focuses on teaching and mentoring our city’s most vulnerable youth by living out this mission:

Building long-term, life-changing relationships with Indianapolis urban youth, equipping them to thrive and contribute to their community. This IS Elevate.
