Elevate Academy, a local Charter School equipping teens for careers in the community with Founder, Matt Strong.

It all started with a mission to find out where the gaps were in trade jobs.  Matt and his co-founder Monica White were asking local business about the type of employees they were looking for. They then created a charter school that would equip kids with a high school education and a trade skill upon graduation. And it worked!  Elevate Academy is now growing all over the state!  Listen in on a great conversation we had with Matt Strong and find out if Elevate Academy is coming to your neighborhood.
