Since 2011, our nonprofit has been providing entrepreneurial and on-the-job training to those that want to change their lives. An entrepreneurial mindset is a set of skills that enable people to identify and make the most of opportunities, overcome and learn from setbacks, and succeed in a variety of settings.

At Elevate, we have found that by exposing teens in crisis to an ‘elevated lifestyle’ through a variety of adventures such as yachting, skydiving and fine dining that these at-risk teens begin to see beyond their current reality. Adding the Entrepreneur mindset training and offering the teens internships in their desired fields opens their minds to endless possibilities.

Elevate is in the process of expanding these training programs to teens in foster care and those aging out of the system in South Florida.
