We had quite a life-changing fall break, like no other, with our students! Whew! This year, our theme has been being a "big family with goals" and over fall break, our students' big goals were at the center of our focus. We served, we traveled, we visited many colleges and companies, we ate, we played, we partnered, we painted, we grew in culture, we laughed, and we built long-term relationships with one another and our communities!

Elevate Indy connects our students to their futures! In 2024, given the many challenges facing the poverty relief, education and workforce development institutions in our state, Indiana’s civic and philanthropic leaders have doubled down on efforts to cultivate access and opportunity for all Hoosiers. This has created an inspiring landscape for Elevate to help our students realize greater opportunities and access life-changing upward economic mobility for decades beyond their K-12 education. Pathways to Purpose, Elevate Indy’s flagship youth workforce development program, creates bridges between empowered young people in underserved communities and businesses which results in high impact economic development. In-school, after-school year around long-term life-changing relationships are being formed as the foundation of future success. Elevate has made meaningful strides toward ensuring that all Elevate students have a pathway to purpose specifically and that all students are enrolled, enlisted, or employed after high school. However, Elevate Indy is not satisfied with its current 80% postsecondary placement and is leading a movement to ensure that as many Indianapolis students as possible, 100% of those who participate in Elevate achieve meaningful postsecondary placement.

Our Class of 2025 Senior League Fall Break trip to Atlanta with 22 Indianapolis Public Schools seniors today included a visit to Georgia State University with Elevate Atlanta! It's been a life-changing experience together, thanks to our great supporters who have helped make this possible. 🎓
