Elite Learners, Inc.

Today we honor those who served for our country and those who sacrificed for us for Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Leading into the long weekend, we recently connected with students in Brownsville, Brooklyn for Field Day while uplifting them with laughs and extra sweet treats.

Wishing all students, staff, parents, families and community members a safe and happy holiday. Be sure to connect with your loved ones!

Our team brought some great memories to students in Canarsie, Brooklyn with our Build-A-Bear event last week! Kids were able to take home a customized stuffed bear that they were able to create themselves with the help of our staff.

We came equipped with all kinds of different bear choices, a stuffing machine, clothing options for the bears, as well as certificates to name their new fluffy friend! Some of the students even indulged in some popcorn and cotton candy to close out their fun-filled morning.

Elite Learners is proud to bring moments like these to the youth and our community. You can book us for your next event by sending us a message or clicking the link in our bio.

Elite Learners recently got the opportunity to pamper some teachers in Coney Island, Brooklyn for Teacher Appreciation Week! We were honored to provide faculty members with some self-care treatments including manicures, facials and massages.

In addition to having some spa activities, we also offered plenty of snacks and treats so the staff could relax and enjoy the rest of their workday.

Elite Learners is proud to stand with in the fight against gun violence and for safer communities. Following the recent Canarsie shooting, it’s clear that long-term change takes more than reaction, it takes community-led support, prevention, and people willing to show up and do the work. We’re committed to doing our part alongside organizations and leaders who are creating real pathways toward peace, healing, and safety. Together, we can build safer streets and stronger futures.

Having our anti-violence team present in person makes a real difference. It means immediate support, a visible calming presence, and care that’s focused on prevention, de-escalation, and community safety. Unlike traditional protection services, which are often reactive and enforcement-based, our approach is centered on trust, connection, and meeting people where they are.

Elite Learners Inc. was proud to engage in meaningful conversation with the Safe Passage Leaders and as we continue working toward safer, stronger school communities.
These group photos reflect the power of partnership, shared purpose, and collective commitment to supporting our students, families, and neighborhoods. Together, we are building pathways to safety, opportunity, and success.

I'm Camara Jackson, CEO of Elite Learners, and I am so glad to be here with all of you today to celebrate a leader who has made District 40 not just a better place to live — but a safer one.

Councilmember Rita Joseph, on behalf of Elite Learners and the families we serve, we want to present you with these flowers. They're a symbol of the growth, resilience, and beauty that your leadership has helped cultivate right here in the heart of Brooklyn.

Since Councilmember Joseph was elected in 2021, the numbers really do tell a powerful story. Murder in this district is down over 28%. R**e is down nearly 19%. Burglary has dropped by 22%, and grand larceny by more than 10%. And her successful push against violent crime was instrumental in the Kings County DA's office declaring that 2025 marked a historic low in overall violent crime. Shooting incidents dropped 15%, and shooting victims declined by 11%.

That is not an accident. That is leadership.

We at Elite Learners are proud to have been a part of that progress. Our violence interrupters walk the same streets your children walk every single day. They patrol the crime hotspots near our schools — not with fear, but with purpose. They build real relationships with young people who just need to be seen, heard, and guided. And when tensions start to rise, our team steps in, to diffuse conflicts before they ever have a chance to become tragedies.

Here's what we believe: safety is not just the absence of violence. It is also the presence of people who care. And in District 40, we are so fortunate to have a councilmember who cares deeply – and a community that flat-out refuses to give up on its young people.

Councilmember Joseph, thank you for your partnership, your vision, and your unwavering commitment to this district. These flowers are beautiful – but they are not nearly as beautiful as the future you are helping us build together.

We are proud to stand with you.
