Elevate Indianapolis Inc

Elevate Indianapolis is an education and mentoring non-profit that serves Indianapolis Public Schools students at Arsenal Tech and George Washington High Schools. Our mission is building long-term, life-changing relationships with Indianapolis urban youth, equipping them to thrive and contribute to their community.  

We provide our students with round-the-clock, daily access to our staff of Teacher-Mentors who support them through our four program areas:  In class, accredited coursework in character, life skills, and leadership; After school mentoring and social-emotional support; College and career readiness through our Pathways to Purpose program; and Adventure learning opportunities.  The students we serve are predominately economically disadvantaged and under-resourced.  They are also 85% minorities, as are 100% of our Teacher-Mentors.  We prioritize hiring staff who have come from similar backgrounds as the students we serve and are able to connect and establish rapport with them quickly.  Our program is part of a national model, Elevate USA, developed 40 years ago in Denver, Colorado, that has been replicated in ten other cities across the US.
