Leveling the Playing Field with Paid Internships
About Elevate+
Elevate to Even Plus (Elevate+) levels the playing field for underrepresented young adults by expanding access to the formative, paid work experiences they need to succeed. We deliver high-impact professional development programming and help mission-aligned organizations connect with promising young talent—advancing equity, opportunity, and long-term economic mobility.
Elevate+ Stories of Success
Our Mission
Elevate+ disrupts systemic inequality by connecting underserved students to transformative, paid internships that serve as launching pads for career success.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every young person has equal access to formative work experiences—regardless of economic status, geography, or the legacy of structural inequity. When Elevate+ achieves its mission, students from disenfranchised communities will rise as far as their drive, talent, and ambition can take them.
Our Purpose
Too often, students from underserved and disenfranchised communities are denied access to the formative internships that build skills, confidence, and professional networks. Elevate+ levels the playing field by placing these students in high-quality, paid internships and surrounding them with the mentorship and support they need to thrive. The result: young people gain real-world experience, meaningful connections, and a stronger foundation for long-term success in the workplace—and beyond.
