What We Offer

At Village Elevate, we connect families with trusted mentors—called Elevators—who teach essential life skills to children and teens. From cooking and money management to outdoor exploration and self-care, our platform makes it easy for parents to find support rooted in culture, compassion, and community.

Whether virtual or in-person, each session is designed to build confidence, independence, and real-world know-how—because raising a child takes a village, and ours is built to elevate.
