our network
A student’s zip code should never determine their success. That’s why Elevate is working with cities and local leaders across the US. We are in twenty cities currently and working on launching new locations every day. Read below to learn more about our affiliates and the communities they serve.
The Elevate USA program model has existed since 1982. Our network of affiliates have expanded our reach to regions across the United States. Click on each of our cities to learn more.
