IMPACT

Dr. Lolita D. Cleveland, Program Manager Youth Guidance

Elevate Greatness is the greatness that the community needs! They provide exceptional and impactful programming for the next generation of leaders that inspire, educate, support and empower.

Their staff are not just employees but change agents for the future. They lead in excellence with compassion, empathy and advocacy for our youth. In partnering with them I have seen youth lives changed and minds transformed in a culturally positive and peaceful environment.

Their creative and strategic impact is the next face of Social Emotional Learning and Restorative Practices.

The Elevate Greatness team is a good fit for  your organization if you are interested in a program that considers the clients’ needs, has the ability to effectively provide relevant curriculum, and exudes professionalism. 

Elevate Greatness in three words: necessary, innovative, and impactful. When serving a large base of students like my job requires me to do, it can become difficult to effectively meet every single need. A huge need at my school was safe, forward-thinking, engaging programming for middle school students. The Elevate Greatness team came in with creative lessons every single week, teaching the students empathy, leadership skills, and ownership of their emotions and decisions.

They provided the opportunity for the students to conduct one-on-one interviews with professionals in their field of interest. The highlight of the partnership was summer programming. They attended college visits with the students and left an impression on the students that they will never forget.

Elevate Greatness had a huge impact on the student body at Butler College Prep. They strategically created intentional conversations to have with our students that pushed them to reflect not only on the decisions they made on daily basis, but the impact that those decisions could have on their future goals; both professionally and personally.

If students had not yet determined what they wanted for themselves in their futures, Elevate Greatness provided resources and introduced them to programs, which piqued many of our students’ interests.

Overall, Elevate Greatness provided our students with real conversations, while simultaneously helping them plan for their future.

Daniel Gibson, Program Director After School Matters

This after school program was a key component for allowing young black and brown young men the space to share their peace and take space in a safe, comfortable, environment. The Elevate Greatness Podcast is exactly what it means! This program helped elevate great thoughts and conversations about real issues that real young men experience and encounter. Shout out to Elevate Greatness Podcast for encouraging conversations like these with the city’s young men leading the charge!
