ELEVATE has the following program goals:

*      To empower parents to fully engage in the education of their children.

*      To equip parents to provide high quality academic support to their children in literacy and math. 

*      To affirm and develop parents and students as leaders, learners, and positive contributors to their school and community.

*      To increase students’ engagement in the educational process.  

*      To increase students’ academic performance in reading and math.

*      To increase pro-social behaviors among students.
