We believe it takes a community to help raise a school. Our goal is to build stronger partnerships between Uplift families and community partners, to nurture our schools and provide support in areas where our communities need it the most such as well-being, financial literacy, civic education and college and career support.
Uplift believes the answer to amazing education/school transformation is strong, authentic community connections and actions. When families, community groups, and schools band together to support learning, young people achieve the valuable support they need to be successful!
