Here's how we measure it — outcomes, reach, and the return on showing up.
91% of Elevate students are on-track to graduate from high school after three or more semesters in the program.
Elevate students exhibit improved character traits after three semesters or more in the program.
Elevate students demonstrate improved social emotional health after three or more semesters in the program.
The majority of Elevate students hold one or more leadership positions in clubs, groups, teams, or their jobs.
Together, over 10,000 students actively participate in Elevate programs — delivering leadership and character classes in hundreds of classrooms, bustling amongst the skyscrapers of New York City, and centrally located in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies. We envision programs in more cities throughout the country, serving more students each year.
The cost of a student to participate in an Elevate program is around $1,200 per year. Our public schools spend an average of $12,608 per student per year.
For that additional investment of $1,200 per student, the graduation rate improves to 90% or higher — a significant return on investment.
The numbers on this page are real students. Here are a few of their stories, in their own words.
