Elevate St. Louis

Elevate St Louis' unique, relationship-based approach employs full-time staff who represent the community they serve. Part teacher, part mentor, part life coach, our dedicated team members make themselves available 24/7/365 to build relationships with students. The strength of these relationships is developed through four key program components: accredited classes, mentoring, adventure, college, and career readiness.

During the 2022-2023 school year, 79% of Elevate St. Louis students were members of single-parent homes without fathers present and 100% of our students were eligible for free/reduced lunch. In that year, 73% believed they acquired the skills needed to have a bright future; 89% achieved a goal with an action plan and hard work; 89% regularly helped struggling peers; 52% held leadership positions; 100% of the class of 2023 (22 students) graduated high school.
