  • IN-SCHOOL

    UpLift staff teach a class during the school day featuring key character qualities, leadership, and life skills at partnering elementary, middle and high schools. The class functions as a daily, accredited high school elective.

  • AFTER-SCHOOL

    Teacher/Mentors interact with students in unstructured and structured activities out of school, resulting in deeper engagement during high-risk, out-of-school hours. These include one-on-one, small group and large group mentoring. 

  • ADVENTURE

    UpLift builds youth resiliency, teamwork, and leadership skills via outdoor activities and experiential education. Students try new pursuits such as snowboarding or rafting, building confidence and their senses of self-efficacy.

  • COLLEGE & CAREER

    UpLift helps students envision, plan, and prepare for their post-secondary education or career. Staff assists students with campus visits, college enrollment, and career fairs.
