Mission Statement
Elevate empowers low-income students through an innovative pay-it-forward model. We train and support our first-generation college fellows who provide near-peer tutoring that inspires younger students to follow in their footsteps to academic and career success. Our vision is a world where everyone has access to high-quality education that helps unlock a path towards social mobility.
About This Cause
Elevate Tutoring advances social justice by bridging economic and achievement gaps on the path to-and-through college. We provide training, work experience, career development, and scholarships to low-income, first-generation college students - our Tutor Fellows - who, in turn, provide high-quality STEM tutoring, mentorship, and growth mindset coaching to their younger K-12 peers. Elevate’s Tutor Fellowship Program creates opportunities for advancement, and establishes a space for socioeconomically disadvantaged young people to discover and demonstrate their brilliance- to not only gain confidence in their academic skills, but in their value as people. At the core of Elevate’s work is the belief that educational disparities between students of different income levels are not reflective of innate aptitude, but rather the result of years of underinvestment. This underinvestment applies not only to academic programs, but to the holistic support that young people need in order to thrive mentally and emotionally. We recognize that academic achievement is most profoundly impacted when personal enrichment opportunities are provided in conjunction with educational support. Our program positions our Tutor Fellows to become powerful role models, mentors, and someone that provides stability to young people by being a consistent and committed presence in their classroom every week. In the process, they have the opportunity to practice professionalism, accountability, and improve their communication, leadership, and listening skills. These strengths (and the confidence that comes along with them) are ever-more important in today’s workforce. Over the past 12 years, Elevate has supported 255 college students who have delivered over 24,000 hours of free tutoring while earning more than $1 million in scholarships to help pay for college.
