ELEVATE Leadership Lab at Gordon College

Please let Mrs. Holmes know by Nov. 10 if you are interested in being nominated!

We are ramping up for another spectacular Elevate Leadership Lab!
Each year we partner with schools from across the U.S. and the world to build creative confidencein students' unique strengths and equip them with practical skills so that they can give back to their communities.

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.
Check out the ELEVATE 2017 cohort:
74 students from 17 states and 6 countries!
Who is ELEVATE for?
Elevate is for high school students who are curious and passionate about creative problem-solving and honing their teamwork skills. Eligible candidates are rising high school juniors and seniorsfrom secondary schools around the globe.
