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-MENTORS 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. 64833 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-MENTORS TO A MUSEUM, A SMALL GROUP PLAYING BASKETBALL, OR A TEACHER-MENTOR MEETING FOR COFFEE WITH ONE STUDENT. DURING THE YEAR, 100% OF OUR STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE SMALL GROUP MENTORING PROGRAM AND 60% OF OUR STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE LARGE GROUP MENTORING PROGRAM. 33826 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 SKIING, ROCK CLIMBING, ETC. THESE ACTIVITIES HELP MENTORED STUDENTS DEVELOP 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. 14093 COLLEGE AND CAREER: THROUGH WORKSHOPS, SMALL GROUP ACTIVITIES, 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. 14093 281881 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 8 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true false true true false X MILLER BRADFORD 2052185743 400 OFFICE PARK DRIVE SUITE 201 BIRMINGHAM AL 35223 DANNY BRISTER JR EXECUTIVE DI 40.00 X 92710 0 0 JIM BRADFORD TREASURER 2.00 X 0 0 0 TERRELL KENNEDY DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 COREY MILNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRAD NICHOLS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BILLY REISER CO-CHAIRMAN 3.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD SIMMONS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN STEIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARVIN STEWART CO-CHAIRMAN 3.00 X 0 0 0 JUDGE MICHAEL STREETY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRYANT TURNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MECHELLE WILDER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 92710 false false false 268508 268508 268508 76977 69280 7697 147863 147863 16708 16708 18535 17900 635 7379 7379 125 125 300 300 3087 2933 154 3781 3781 10854 10311 543 2297 2297 700 700 1765 1765 MEALS 6673 673 6000 CONTRACT LABOR 5431 5431 PROGRAM EVENTS 3574 3574 REPAIRS 130 130 306179 281881 18298 6000 39588 2053 376 3500 1750 2450 1750 42038 4179 188 188 0 X 41850 4179 41850 4179 42038 4179 -37671 X false false false X 43642 409700 571065 268508 1292915 43642 409700 571065 268508 1292915 1292915 1292915 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3500 1750 1750 1750 FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A TEACHING ACCREDITED CLASSES: THE ELEVATE BIRMINGHAM MENTORS ARE CALLED TEACHER-MENTORS BECAUSE THEY TEACH ACCREDITED CLASSES IN PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS.
