our network
A student’s zip code should never determine their success. That’s why Elevate USA partners with local leaders in communities across the country to launch and support Elevate programs.
Today, Elevate operates in 19cities, with new locations launching regularly. Each Elevate program is an independent 501(c)(3), led and funded locally, while connected through a national network of shared training, tools, and support—so local teams can focus on building long-term, life-changing relationships with students and families.
