Zion and I are really connecting and get along well. He listens and is accepting of the guidance I give him and we have fun. Realizing the importance of helping children who need positive adult attention is the single most important thing I get out of being an Elevator.

I've been an Elevator for the past 7 years and it's a very rewarding and extremely important role. What I've found is that a lot of our students don't have a stable home life and are often living with relatives and don't always get the one-on-one attention they need. If we're going to help our youth with a better path in the future then more caring adults/professionals need to be Elevators to help inspire kids, become a positive role model for them and show them people care.
