Program accomplishments
- TEACHING ACCREDITED CLASSES: THE ELEVATE BIRMINGHAM MENTORS ARE CALLED TEACHER-MENTORS BECAUSE THEY TEACH ACCREDITED CLASSES IN PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS. THE TEACHER-MENTORS TEACH EACH CLASS IN TEAMS, MEANING THAT THERE ARE TYPICALLY THREE TEACHER-MENTORS IN EVERY CLASS. THESE MULTIPLE MENTORS ALLOW FOR ROLE MODELS WITH DIFFERENT GENDERS, ETHNICITIES, BACKGROUNDS, AND PERSONALITIES. ELEVATE CLASSES ARE HOLISTIC IN NATURE, PROVIDING INSTRUCTION AND PRACTICE IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, LIFE SKILLS, SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SKILL DEVELOPMENT, LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT, FINANCIAL UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGEMENT, RESTORATIVE JUSTICE PRACTICES, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, WORK READINESS EXPLORATION AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND POST-HIGH SCHOOL PLANNING. ELEVATE HAS A DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE CURRICULUM FOR 4TH THROUGH 12TH GRADES. EVERY LESSON IS ALIGNED WITH COMMON CORE STANDARDS AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL COMPETENCIES. THESE CLASSES INCORPORATE THIRTEEN VITAL CHARACTER AND LIFE SKILLS DESIGNED TO DEVELOP THE PERSONAL CHARACTER, LEADERSHIP ABILITIES AND CAPABILITIES NEEDED FOR SUCCESS. THROUGH THIS INTENSIVE HANDS-ON, EXPERIENTIAL CURRICULUM, TEACHER-TENTORS ARE WITH MENTEES EVERY SCHOOL DAY AND BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEM. EACH TEAM OF TEACHER-MENTORS TEACHES TWO TO THREE CLASSES PER DAY, OR APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THEIR DAY. THE OTHER 50% OF THEIR TIME IS SPENT IN THE SECOND ELEVATE PROGRAM AREA - MENTORING OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL.Expenses $64,971
- MENTORING OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL: THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE MENTORING PROGRAM. THE TEACHER-MENTORS SPEND TIME WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AFTER SCHOOL, IN THE EVENINGS, ON WEEKENDS, THROUGHOUT HOLIDAYS AND SUMMER VACATION. THEY HOST LARGE GROUP ACTIVITIES, SMALL GROUP ACTIVITIES, AND ONE-ON-ONE MEETINGS WITH THE STUDENTS. ON ANY DAY OF THE WEEK, THERE MAY BE A GROUP OF STUDENTS GOING WITH TEACHER-MENTOR MEETING FOR COFFEE WITH ONE STUDENT. DURING THE YEAR, 40% OF OUR STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE SMALL GROUP MENTORING PROGRAM AND 60% OF OUR STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE LARGE GROUP MENTORING PROGRAM.Expenses $25,328
- ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES: ELEVATE BIRMINGHAM BELIEVES THAT YOUNG PEOPLE GROW THROUGH BEING CHALLENGED AND HAVING FUN. THEREFORE, ELEVATE HOSTS LARGE AND SMALL GROUP ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THESE MAY INCLUDE ACTIVITIES SUCH AS HIKING, SUMMER CAMP, OVERNIGHT CAMPING, FISHING, WATER GRIT, EXPOSES THEM TO NEW EXPERIENCES, AND CREATES OPPORTUNITIES TO DEEPEN THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR MENTORS. 60% OF ELEVATE STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN AN ADVENTURE ACTIVITY OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL.Expenses $13,215
- COLLEGE AND CAREER: THROUGH WORKSHOPS, SMALL GROUP ACTIVIES, COLLEGE VISITS, AND IN-CLASS CURRICULUM ACTIVITIES, ALL ELEVATE MENTEES GO THROUGH A PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING THEIR SKILLS AND DESIRES FOR THEIR FUTURE. THE MENTORS, THEN, HELP EACH MENTEE DEVELOP A PERSONAL PLAN FOR THEIR LIVES FOR WHEN THEY GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. THE MENTORS FOLLOW UP WITH THEM THROUGH THE SUMMER AND FIRST YEAR AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, BETTER ENSURING THEY ARE NOT LOST IN THE TRANSITION.Expenses $6,607
