Elevate Phoenix

Elevate Phoenix's mission: "Building long-term, life-changing relationships with urban youth." The program helps students stay in school, graduate, and enroll in post-secondary education by teaching accredited life skills-based reading and other curriculum in the classroom, providing tutoring and homework help, and providing 24/7/365 teacher-mentor support to help youth with anything causing distress.

Elevate Phoenix's purpose is to help low-income, at-risk youth remain in school through graduation and beyond so they can achieve a more successful future and break the familial cycle of poverty, develop positive life skills and resiliency, and become compassionate and contributing members of society. Our primary areas of focus are helping youth gain positive life skills; improve their literacy and other academic skills; learn to be mentors to peers, younger students, and siblings; helping them gain self-confidence; and keeping them excited about staying in school, graduating and advancing to the career of their dreams.

Testimonial

"Elevate Phoenix has been uplifting for my life. I've received so much help from my mentors academically and personally. My mentors take the time to see how I am doing, and I truly do appreciate what they do for me. They are honest with me and do not "sugarcoat." I have built a friendship with our mentors and I feel it will only continue getting better."
