Elevate Indianapolis

Last month, Elevate watched a record number of seniors reach that high school finish line, confidently moving forward toward postsecondary success.

And, with your support, we can be there for them every step of the way.

Thanks to an anonymous donor, when you donate to Elevate's spring appeal before June 30th, your gift will be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar up to $30,000! This initial funding will help support our Alumni & Family Growth & Persistence Manager, who helps us provide guidance and resources for our alumni, continuing to meet them where they need us most. After all, our students do not stop needing support after graduation, and we don't plan to stop showing up for them!

Investing in Elevate means investing in the long-term success of a young person as they pursue their goals and become thriving contributors in their community. Go to http://elevateindy.org/donate to be part of the impact today.

The school year may be over, but you can still be part of Elevate’s transformational impact!

We are looking for volunteers to join us on June 12th for a beautiful day on the golf course at our annual Fellowship on the Fairways event. This annual Juneteenth celebration is one of our signature Sports & Adventure events, where you’ll engage with Elevate students and see the power of sports-based mentorship in real time.

As our students take on new challenges and step outside their comfort zone, you’ll be helping them gain the tools they need to thrive on the golf course and beyond.

Contact Heather Encinia [email protected] or go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fellowship-on-the-fairways-tickets-1975872825811 to volunteer at this powerful golf event today.

In the 2025-2026 school year, 100% of Elevate seniors participated in college & career preparation through Pathways to Purpose. When you give to our annual spring appeal, you can help us continue to support these students as they pursue postsecondary success.

Gifts made before June 30th will be matched by an anonymous donor up to $30,000 to continue supporting our Alumni & Family Growth & Persistence Manager. Your support allows us to continue supporting our alumni as they navigate the challenges of adult life.

Help us show our students that no one gets there alone, and that we are in their corner through the ups, the downs, and everything in between. Go to http://elevateindy.org/donate to donate to our spring appeal today.

“I’m excited because I have a backup plan if things don’t work out. I’m clear on the path I want and have a plan to get there.” - Azucena, ATHS Class of 2026

At Elevate, we’re committed to helping our students not only identify their goals, but also take real steps to achieve them. As Azucena and the rest of our seniors prepare to graduate, we continue to offer the support and guidance they need to thrive after high school.

And, because we know life happens, we continue to support students long after graduation. If their path takes an unexpected turn, they can count on their Elevate family to help them navigate any obstacle that comes their way. After all, once in Elevate, always in Elevate.

Congratulations, Azucena and our Class of 2026 seniors!

Thank you to the students, families, board members, donors, alumni, school partners, DJ, food provider, community partners, companies, and sponsors, and the entire AMAZING STAFF of Elevate Indy for making BOTH 2026 Suits & Sneakers celebrations nights to remember!

It's Teacher Appreciation Week, and we would not have 10 years of life-changing transformations without our incredible teachers!

Thank you to all of the teachers who make Elevate's mission possible. Our Teacher-Mentors provide safe, consistent support for their students in and out of the classroom, making sure each child feels seen, known, heard, and loved. Whether they are leading a classroom activity, taking students on an adventure trip, or helping a student apply for college, they continue to meet students where they are needed mosts, helping each student discover their limitless potential.

And at our four partner high schools and four partner elementary schools, we engage with fantastic, passionate teachers who help empower their students to thrive. These educators help Elevate to expand its efforts in our local schools so more students can gain access to critical resources for success.

Thank you to our school partners for continuing to support Elevate's mission in your classrooms. And to our Teacher-Mentors, thank you for creating long-term, life-changing legacies every day. No one gets there alone, and we certainly could not get there without YOU!
