Elevate Augusta

We seek to build long-term, life-changing relationships with Augusta youth, equipping them to thrive and contribute to our community. Across America’s hard-to-serve urban areas, public school students drop out of school in alarming numbers, and for those that do graduate, the road to post-secondary education is filled with obstacles. Too many of American’s high school students are underserved and, as a result, are underperforming. A large majority of urban youth lack even one caring adult in their life, leading directly to increased crime, gang, drug activity and other roadblocks to self-sufficiency. Founded in Denver over 40 years ago, the Colorado UpLift model has proven effective in changing these trends and transforming lives of our nation’s youth. Elevate USA supports current UpLift models (Elevate Orlando, Elevate Phoenix, Elevate New York City, Elevate Augusta, and 17 other affiliates) while launching new affiliates in cities throughout America.
