Youth Outcomes – Graduation/Education

Youth Outcomes – Graduation/Education

Our Level Up mentorship program is research-based and proven to generate remarkable outcomes for teens. 95% of our youth graduate high school and 80% go on to continued education and training, 75% of which are of the first generation in their family to do so.

Well-Being and Mental Health

Well-Being and Mental Health

Each year, an independent research firm surveys our youth and mentors. These studies reveal that 100% of Level Up youth experience enhanced personal well-being and health, as well as a reduction in harmful thinking and behaviors.

Good Results for the Entire Family

Good Results for the Entire Family

Through our Level Up mentorship program, we support not just youth, but their families. We make sure the parents, caregivers, and families have what they need to thrive, filling in resource gaps and providing any additional support needed. In Caregivers Circle, an optional workshop for parents and guardians, we provide a space for caregivers of teens to connect with and learn from one another, as well as learn some of the curriculum their youth are learning so they can reinforce these teachings at home.

Holistic approach to mentorship

Holistic approach to mentorship

Our Level Up mentorship program is holistic. We focus on all aspects of our youth’s inner development as well as their outer environments, focusing on three key aspects: relationships, education, and employment. In addition to helping them build positive, healthy relationships, we give them the tools and opportunities to achieve academic and professional success. Furthermore, we connect them with resources like healthcare, emergency relief, and more to provide them with security and stability and ensure their basic needs are met.
