Elevate You Foundation's (EYF) mission is to assist currently and formerly incarcerated individuals heal trauma, reduce recidivism, and rebuild their lives. EYF serves as a bridge between currently and formerly incarcerated individuals and the outside world, ensuring that their transition back into society is as smooth, efficient, and peaceful as possible through resume services, mentorship, Board of Parole Hearing support, and re-entry resources.EYF firmly believes that change will never occur unless we get to the root cause of the issue. EYF works vigorously to assist those in need in any way possible through dedicated research, creating an extensive network of resources, and working with a passion to transform public perceptions around incarcerated people, breaking the cycle of trauma through healing and teaching the importance of love, kindness, and respect. EYF works hard to stop the cycle of "hurt people hurt people," and envisions a world where the phrase "if you can't help someone, don't hurt them" is honored.
