Elevate Adolescence Program (EAP): Redefining What Possible is for Today’s Tween and Teens

Elevate Adolescence Programs (EAPs) origin story begins with the simple notion of “see a need, fill a need”. 

The world is no longer as simple as it once was. Tweens and teens today are not just growing up—they’re growing up fast, caught in the whirlwind of societal expectations, digital comparison, and an education system that’s often out of sync with their natural development. What is the Result? Rising rates of anxiety, identity confusion, and a worrying sense of disconnection (Twenge, J. M. and Campbell, W. K., 2018). 

This troubling trend has led parents, educators, and experts to ask a crucial question: how can we provide adolescents with the support they truly need, rather than what they are receiving? 

Elevate Adolescence Program (EAP), a pioneering organization dedicated to helping adolescents find clarity, strength, confidence in who they are and ultimately flex their emotional and social intelligence. With their signature programs, Girls Rising Strong and Boys Breaking Through, EAP is providing adolescents with the tools they need to not just survive but thrive in a rapidly changing world. Our focus is on helping these young people grow, develop, and progress – consistently and meaningfully- toward becoming the best version of themselves. By addressing the unique challenges faced by young girls and boys, EAP empowers adolescents to build character, deepen emotional intelligence, and not just discover but nurture, cultivate, and fortify their core values and identities as they grow. 

“We are on a mission to restore hope, resilience, and a strong sense of self in adolescents,” says the EAP team. “Our programs are designed to empower young people by fostering deep self-awareness, and gradually cultivating virtuous character traits. These qualities equip adolescents with the essential skills they need to succeed- not just during adolescence, but throughout every stage of their lives, personally, professionally, and socially.”
