Our Story

We created Uplift Communities to provide insight on things we did not know growing up and when we first started our businesses. Our goal is to give our participants an advantage in becoming successful through education and training on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, life skills and college and career readiness.

A few of our clients: Queens Public Library, Department of Homelessness, Riker’s Island, The Young Women's Leadership School of Brooklyn, Queensboro Correctional Facility, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, The Borough of Manhattan Community College, Bronx River High School, High School of Fashion Industries, Fordham Leadership Academy, The New York Chapter of the National Black MBA Association, The Gentlemen’s Factory, Groomed Success, and The Boy’s Room.

We have been intentional in hiring people who are passionate about helping others succeed. Our key component in hiring our team is that they did this before we started paying them. We have screened assembled and hired an Allstar team of individuals who are passionate about training your people. A few of our amazing facilitators who make Uplift Communities are below:
