PROJECT LIFT IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE LIVES OF AT-RISK TEENS THROUGH SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT, MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, VOCATIONAL SKILLS TRAINING, AND MENTORING. WE HAVE SERVED ALMOST 4,000 TEENS SINCE 2010, USING A UNIQUE PLATFORM THAT COMBINES MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT WITH VOCATIONAL TRAINING.
DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE LIVES OF AT-RISK TEENS THROUGH SKILLED TRADE AND STRONG MINDS
OUR PROGRAMMING FEATURES SKILLED INSTRUCTORS IN AUTO REPAIR, WELDING, SCREEN PRINTING, GRAPHIC ARTS, CARPENTRY, CONSTRUCTION, AND HVAC. OUR HIGH-QUALITY VOCATIONAL TRAINING ON INDUSTRY STANDARD EQUIPMENT HAS ATTRACTED LOCAL EMPLOYERS WHO VOLUNTEER TO TRAIN THE TEENS AND SEEK OUT PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, ALLOWING FOR JOB PLACEMENT AND A VIABLE PATH TO ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY. LICENSED THERAPISTS PROVIDE BEST PRACTICE INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP THERAPY ALONGSIDE SKILLED TRADE INSTRUCTION, A TREATMENT STRATEGY THAT HAS PROVEN MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE WITH MANY ADOLECENTS THAN STANDARD COUNSELING, AND ONE THAT RESULTS IN HOPEFUL, SOBER, EMPLOYABLE AND PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS. THE PATHWAY ACADEMY OF INNOVATION IS AN ON-SITE HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA PROGRAM FOR TEENS WHO HAVE BEEN EXPELLED OR DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL. THE PROGRAM UTILIZES AN ONLINE CURRICULUM, AND A TEACHER OFFERS PERSONALIZED ASSISTANCE. ATTENDEES RECEIVE MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING TO ADDRESS ISSUES THAT ARE IMPACTING THEIR ACADEMIC SUCCESS. PARTICIPANTS ALSO HAVE THE OPTION OF ENGAGING IN VOCATIONAL SKILLS TRAINING WHILE ON SITE. THE STRONG FAMILIES PROGRAM HELPS FAMILIES OF TEENS IN OUR PROGRAMMING MOVE TO ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND BREAK THE CHAINS OF POVERTY. THE 16-WEEK CURRICULUM HELPS FAMILIES IDENTIFY BARRIERS TO FINANCIAL SUCCESS, SET GOALS, AND OBTAIN THE TOOLS TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGE. NEARLY 70% OF OUR COUNTRY DOES NOT HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE, AND THE NUMBER CONTINUES TO GROW EACH YEAR. WITH THE GENERAL COST OF COLLEGE TUITION ON THE RISE, A LARGE SKILLS GAP ISSUE, AND A GROWING NEED TO FILL JOBS WITH SKILLED LABOR, OUR COUNTRY IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF INNOVATIVE, DISRUPTIVE CHANGE TO OUR SOCIAL PROGRAMS. PROJECT LIFT SEEKS TO BREAK THE TWO-GENERATIONAL POVERTY CYCLE, ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS, AND FOCUS ON FILLING THIS SKILLED TRADE GAP BY OFFERING AT-RISK TEENS PAID WORK OPPORTUNITIES UTILIZING HANDS ON HIGH TOUCH VOCATIONAL TRAINING, MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH BUSINESS OWNERS WHO ARE SEEKING TALENT.
