At Elevate Birmingham, we believe the future of our city is directly connected to the opportunities we provide our students today.

Every young person deserves more than potential; they deserve access, guidance, exposure, and a community willing to invest in their success. That belief is at the heart of everything we do.

As Executive Director, I am honored to lead an organization that walks alongside students through some of the most formative years of their lives. We help students build the confidence, character, and life skills needed to thrive far beyond graduation.

We partner with families, educators, businesses, community leaders, volunteers, and donors to create a network of support that reminds students they are seen, valued, and capable of achieving greatness. Together, we are helping students envision a future filled with possibility and equipping them with the tools to pursue it.

Our mission is not simply to impact students for a moment, but to help change the trajectory of lives, families, and communities for generations to come.

Whether you are a community leader looking to make meaningful impact, or a donor investing in the future of Birmingham, thank you for believing in the power of young people and the importance of this work.

We invite you to join us as we continue building pathways of opportunity, leadership, and hope for students across Birmingham City Schools.

With gratitude,

Mia Mothershed
