Elevate Vision Breakfast...Building Relationships With Inner-City Youth

The Breakfast...

The Elevate Vision Breakfast is designed for individuals who want to see the trajectory of crime, poverty, lack of education and hopelessness change for kids in the inner-city of Birmingham -- and throughout the country. We believe in the power of relationships to change the heart of a child. Elevate’s intensive youth-development model is uniquely intensive and holistic. Unlike volunteer-based models, Elevate hires full-time, salaried Teacher-Mentors who reflect the communities they serve to teach an accredited curriculum on Character and Leadership in public school classrooms. These Teacher-Mentors serve as a reliable adult model and mentor to these kids both in and out of school.

Our student surveys show that 83% of our inner-city youth do not live with their biological father, or feel they have a reliable adult in their lives. Elevate changes that reality. Your support of Elevate changes the life of an inner-city child in a tangible, practical life-changing way!

Elevate Overview...

Elevate is the sole program in the nation that hires full-time individuals who work as Teacher-Mentors in public school classrooms. We assign three (3) Teacher-Mentors to a single classroom to teach accredited courses for a letter grade on 'Character and Leadership'.

When the school bell rings at day's end, our teacher-mentors have a unique platform to provide the love and warmth of caring adults in a mentoring relationship, which Mentoring Relationship is 24/7!
