Empowering Our Youth & Community

About ELEVATE Youth

At ELEVATE Youth, we are here to empower our youth and community! We envision a vibrant, creative youth who are empowered by adults and peers alike to help them achieve their full potential and then lead others by inspiring them to give, serve, and grow.


Our mission is to provide experiences that cultivate success and strengthen our community through comprehensive programming for children, youth and families giving them the opportunity to grow in the areas of self confidence, leadership, responsibility and respect and to participate voluntarily in the community.


If you have any questions, please send us an email at contact@yatescc.org.
