Elevate+ Programs

Elevate+ Programming Overview

At Elevate+, we are committed to creating transformative experiences for students from underserved backgrounds. Our programming is designed to go beyond providing a summer job—it’s about fostering growth, building professional skills, creating lasting networks, and instilling the confidence necessary for long-term success.

A Holistic Approach to Internships

We believe internships should be more than a stepping stone; they should be a launchpad. That’s why we provide opportunities for students to:


  • Develop Key Skills: Gain real-world, hands-on experience that prepares them for future careers.
  • Build Professional Networks: Establish meaningful connections with mentors and industry leaders.
  • Grow Self-Confidence: Learn how to navigate professional spaces with self-assurance.

Enrichment Beyond the Internship

Our programming enhances each student’s experience through:


  • Professional Development Training: Tailored sessions on job readiness, resume writing, LinkedIn building, and interview preparation.
  • Role Model Speaker Series: Inspiring talks from professionals who share insights and experiences.
  • Networking Events: Opportunities to connect with peers, mentors, and community leaders.
  • Peer Support: Peer-to-peer check-ins provide additional encouragement and shared learning.
  • Professional Headshots: Helping students put their best foot forward online and in-person.

Elevate+ Internship Pathways

Creating Meaningful Opportunities

Shaping Futures Together

At Elevate+, our mission is clear: to ensure that no student is limited by economic status, geography, or structural barriers. Through meaningful internships and unparalleled support, we’re empowering the next generation to succeed based on their drive, talent, and ambition.

Internships Tailored to Impact

Our paid internship opportunities are designed to serve the goals of both students and host organizations, creating pathways toward career readiness, professional growth, and economic mobility. Whether placed with a nonprofit, a corporate partner, or through our industry-specific Upward Mobility program, students gain meaningful work experience, build essential skills, and expand their networks—all while contributing to impactful work.

Students are placed with mission-driven community organizations to support initiatives that address pressing social issues. These roles cultivate students’ understanding of public service, equity, and advocacy while offering hands-on experience in the nonprofit sector.

Students are placed with businesses of all sizes to contribute to real-world projects that support commercial operations, strategic goals, and organizational success. These internships expose students to a wide range of industries—such as finance, marketing, HR, and technology—and help them develop the professional skills, confidence, and insight necessary to thrive in today’s workforce.

Our Upward Mobility program offers internships with leading companies in the global mobility industry—including relocation, immigration, and workforce management firms. In addition to professional development and mentorship, students in this program receive targeted training to deepen their industry knowledge and build connections that can launch long-term careers in a high-demand, global field.
