No One Does What We Do
– and We Can Prove That it Works!

Elevate Jacksonville is committed to creating a brighter future for the youth in Duval County!

Elevate Jacksonville is an education and mentoring program that empowers urban youth to reach their full potential. We independently employ Teachers Mentors inside Duval County Public Schools who teach accredited classes on 13 essential character traits and life skills every school day and offer mentorship to support their journey further.

This nationwide program began in 1982 in Colorado to introduce urban students to positive and caring adults who can ensure they don’t have to navigate life’s toughest challenges alone. 

Since 2019, Elevate Jacksonville has used the same model that has been successful across the U.S. to help change the outcomes for students in our city. No one does what we do- – and we can prove that it works

More About Elevate Jacksonville From Others

We’ve seen powerful results over the past 5 years. Elevate is life changing. Not only are we breaking a desperate cycle, but we’re also changing the culture in our participating inner city schools.
Skip Allcorn Chair, Elevate Jacksonville Board of Directors
"I am so happy that Elevate Jacksonville is present and alive at Jean Ribault High School. The individuals that are providing the instruction to our young Trojans are Awesome!"
Dr. Gregory BosticPrincipal, Ribault High School
The Elevate curriculum/classroom is a wonderful way to connect students to real life thoughts, events, and life preparation. What brings me joy is the opportunity to see young people engage in tough, real, and deep conversations that are designed to teach them how to navigate life. The intentional 13 life skills and character qualities challenge students to use critical thinking and improvement of their writing skills.
Carla AustinExecutive Director
What moves me the most is witnessing the personal breakthroughs. Seeing a student who has faced significant hardships find their voice and advocate for themselves, or observing the quiet moments of realization when a concepts we teach truly clicks for someone. These are the instances that remind me why we do what we do, and they are as rewarding as any test score, or grade could ever be.
D.T. SturghillPipeline Coordinator, Elevate Jacksonville
Being a constant presence in our student's educational journey, I find immense satisfaction in witnessing the growth of personal development, self-confidence, and their realization of potential. These relationships extend beyond the classroom, contributing to a positive and supportive school culture.
