Changing lives through the power of mutual respect.
The original Elite High School Program was founded in 2006 as an 11-week business “boot camp” for high school sophomores and juniors in Peoria, IL. Since that time, Elite has provided more than 1,000 youth with part-time jobs that not only give them spending money but also keep them occupied and off the street. The results are enhanced self-confidence, valuable work experience, and an incentive to stay off the streets.
Elite Results: Lifting GPAs & Launching Careers
Many of our students not only secure gainful employment, they also experience enhanced academic success. The majority of Elite participants experience a measurable increase in their GPA, with a corresponding drop in disciplinary referrals and truancy.
