Changing the Lives of At-Risk Teens Through Innovation in Mental Health and Workforce Development
About us
Project LIFT’s innovative delivery of mental health services provides therapy through the unique platform of vocational training. At no cost, at-risk teens and young adults engage in hands- on paid training in: welding, HVAC, solar installation, barbering/cosmetology, construction, auto repair, screen printing and more, while licensed therapists work with them to address issues including depression, addiction, trauma, and anger management. With a strong focus on vocational training, job readiness, and employability, Project LIFT works to impact industry by equipping potential employees with the tools to succeed. The on-site Pathway Academy of Innovation is also provided to help those who have dropped out achieve their accredited high school diploma. Project LIFT serves more than 600 youth and young adults annually, in its Martin, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie County, FL locations, with additional expansions coming soon. Last year, 96% of participants successfully completed the program drug free, and 87% who were 18 or older secured employment with Project LIFT industry partners after program completion.

Participants with an interest in welding had the opportunity to tour Ross Mixing, a leading manufacturer of industrial mixing, blending, drying, and dispersion equipment located in Port Saint Lucie. During the tour, they observed the intricate process of building these mixers at various stages of production, gaining valuable insight into potential career paths within the manufacturing industry. #ProjectLIFT #StrongMinds #SkilledTrades #CareerDevelopment #WorkforceDevelopment #CareerOpportunity #CommunityImpact #JobTour #SiteTour #PositiveImpact #ChangingLives

A total of six non-profit organizations, including Project LIFT, led by B.O.T.G. (Building Opportunities Through Golf), collaborated to provide a unique opportunity for 25 inner-city children to attend a professional golf tournament. This excursion introduced these young individuals to a diverse cultural experience. They had the privilege to witness a PGA golf tournament, specifically The Tour Of Champions held in East Lake Atlanta, which holds historical significance as it was established within a Black community in Atlanta. They were also granted the chance to visit the Civil Rights Museum, Coca-Cola Museum, Atlanta Sea Aquarium, and other notable attractions. Our goal was to show these teens that the world is bigger then the numbered and lettered streets that they live on. #ProjectLIFT #CommunityImpact #PositiveImpact #ChangingLives #StrongMinds
