What is ELEVATE?
Elevate prepares high-caliber students to translate their big ideas to into real impact right where they are. Students are sorted strategically into hand-picked teams to address a tangible social issue in their community. These teams pitch their solutions to a panel of expert judges for the chance to win up to $3,000 in seed money to start their venture.
During our eight-day leadership lab, students:
- Redefine leadership as collaborative problem-solving.
- Learn practical marketing skills and storytelling techniques in our hands-on workshops.
- Expand the meaning of teamwork on our high and low ropes course.
- Make friendships that span the globe.
