About Us

We are a youth-centered, community-rooted nonprofit dedicated to uplifting the next generation. While our roots are in community connection and support, our vision is future-focused: we exist to bridge the gap between young people and the opportunities of tomorrow.

Our work primarily serves Black and racialized youth, addressing systemic barriers through education, technology, and empowerment. We believe that when you give a young person the right tools—whether that's coding skills, mentorship, or a safe space to grow—they don't just succeed; they lead.

Behind Uplift the Youth is a team of educators, tech professionals, and community leaders committed to a simple idea: that high-quality, future-ready learning should be accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few.
