Elevate is our blog by young people, for young people.
Do you have an opinion on an issue you want to share? Do you have a solution to a problem? We want to hear from young people and those who work with them to submit their writing to be published here on Elevate.
We’d love to hear what you have to say about making a difference, being a young person, your community or anything else you're passionate about and want young people to know about. Let Elevate be a platform for getting your voice out there!
