Testimonials

“Through a ‘collective impact model,’ Elevate Brevard is designed to bring together the business community, the nonprofit community, and the education sector to figure out how they can increase the number of kids and adults pursuing post–secondary education or certificates, so they can essentially obtain a living wage and break the cycle of generational poverty. This involves getting these kids to believe that they can not only go on to college or a certification program, but also get a good job.”

– Peter Mannino

“We really appreciate Elevate Brevard’s conscientious follow-up and support with getting nursing students to METCA.”

– Teri Jones

“I’m actually working for myself. I’m a private duty CNA. They (Family Promise of Brevard/Elevate Brevard) sent me to school to get my certificate for CNA.”
