NEW BEGINNINGS FOR ELEVATE WORK | |
Starting January 8th, we’re welcoming a new class of Elevate Work students to our campus each Monday and Wednesday evening to invest in their future selves, discover their passions and sharpen their workforce development skills in order to reach their greatest potential. Each student will form a life-giving friendship with their assigned mentor, and begin making strides towards gaining the confidence needed to find success in the workplace, earn a dignified income, and find freedom from the roadblocks keeping them from moving forward. You can be a part of facilitating life-change by being a part of this program – as a mentor, as a business panel participant, or by simply joining us for a class. Contact Donna McConkey, Elevate Work Director, and 417.527.1709 or Donna.McConkey@ElevateBranson.org to get involved today.

ACTUALIZING DREAMS IN 2024 | |
|
New entrepreneurs begin their journey towards starting their own side business on January 9th. Each Tuesday for the following twelve weeks, our students will gain access to the comprehensive education and resources needed to successfully launch their businesses, increase their financial margin, and pursue their passions. We’re looking forward to welcoming a new cohort to our campus and to begin investing in their future products and services they’ll soon be offering to our community. To learn more contact Chris Hunter at Chris.Hunter@ElevateBranson.org or 417.335.9915. | |
REFLECTING ON THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS WITH ELEVATE KIDS | |
Our Elevate Kids had a magical Christmas thanks to the generosity of so many individuals and businesses in our local community. We received toy donations from the Branson Landing and Books-A-Million, and the Titanic Museum brought a winter wonderland to our campus at the end of December to shower our kiddos with Christmas spirit. After a short Christmas break, our after-school kids are back for more learning and fun in the New Year. | |
|
We’re proud to be in partnership with Christian Action Ministries as one of their Neighbor2Neighbor mobile distribution sites. The first Wednesday of each month, CAM will be on our campus providing groceries and connecting with our neighbors. We’re looking forward to this ongoing partnership and to expanding the reach of our programs and services in order to resource even more of our neighbors with access to next steps. This is another great way to facilitate relationships, get to know our neighbors needs, and better understand where we can meet them in order to provide support. We’re thankful for CAM and the work they do in our community to love our neighbors and invest in their well-being. Contact Hannah Witcher at Hannah.Witcher@ElevateBranson.org or 417.239.7818 to learn more.

JANUARY 26TH
| |
On January 26th, the public is invited to join us for a time of communal prayer at the Elevate Branson campus from 11:30 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. This is a time for us to come together in unity to pray for different areas of our community.

SCOOTERS AROUND EVERY CORNER | |
In December we offered ownership scooters to all qualifying individuals in our community. We’re thrilled to see even more scooters on the road, and we are looking forward to equipping even more individuals in our community with affordable and sustainable transportation! Eliminating the barrier of access to transportation enables our neighbors to find consistent and meaningful employment opportunities, where they can increase their income and quality of life. Contact us this month at 417.295.7575 to learn more about Elevate Rides and how you can hit the road on a new motorized scooter.
