Lift - Dc

LIFT-DC is a community-based nonprofit that engages trained volunteers – dedicated and talented college students – to serve low-to-moderate income individuals and families. LIFT clients and volunteers work one-on-one to find jobs, secure safe and stable housing, make ends meet through public benefits and tax credits, and obtain quality referrals for services like childcare and healthcare. Simultaneously, the LIFT experience pushes volunteers to grapple with D.C.’s most challenging issues related to poverty, race, inequality, and policy. LIFT-DC is located within the Perry School Community Services Center in Sursum Corda, at CentroNía/D.C. Bilingual Public Charter School in Columbia Heights, and at Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus (THEARC) in Ward 8; all three co-locators serve as hubs of community support for children and parents in their respective neighborhoods. LIFT-DC is part of a growing movement to combat poverty and expand opportunity for all people in the United States. Beyond Washington D.C., LIFT serves four additional geographic regions: Boston, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia.
