This week, in an effort to communicate these changes in how we want to show up in the world, we’re rolling out a new look and a new website that we feel is a better reflection of who we are.

At Elevate, we strongly believe that evaluation and research must go beyond the numbers to tell the stories of people and communities. As such, we believe in the value of  qualitative and community-based, participatory methods and approaches, including participatory action research (PAR). Specifically, we recently had the privilege to support Nashville’s Opportunity Youth Collaborative (OYC) in conducting a youth participatory action research (YPAR) project with its Youth Leadership Team to inform the strategy of the OYC. 

At Elevate, now more than ever, we are committed to ensuring that we clearly articulate how this value of equity shows up in our work and how we do business, as well as how we are routinely questioning the value and validity of “objectivity” in determining success for communities and the programs that serve them.

We unequivocally believe that Black Lives Matter.
