our programs

Elevate’s unique, relationship-based approach employs full-time staff who represent the community they serve. Part teacher, part mentor, part life coach, our dedicated team members make themselves available 24/7 to build relationships with students. The strength of these relationships is developed through four key program components.

We’re currently operating in Arsenal Tech High School, Theodore Potter Elementary School 74, H.L. Harshman Middle School, George Washington High School, Matchbook Learning at Wendell Phillips School 63 (k-8), Purdue Poly High School-Englewood, Paramount Middle School-Englewood, and Thomas D. Gregg Neighborhood School 15.

Walking alongside students

  • Teacher-mentors spend 50% of their time outside of the classroom mentoring high school and junior high school students
  • Teacher-mentors are available to their student on evenings, weekends, and over the summer
  • Teacher-mentors pay attention to the whole child — discovering their talents, interests, and hopes for the future through activities and quality time
  • Teacher-mentors represent a positive role model in a student’s life, influencing the trajectory of their future

Sports & adventure
