Who is the UpliftUS Collective?
The UpliftUS Collective is a community-driven nonprofit uplifting youth and families by honoring lived experiences and helping people discover their purpose, build meaningful lives, and access mental health support.
Our vision is a world where healing is community-centered, mental health care is approachable and accessible, and every person, especially our youth, has the confidence, tools, and support to grow into who they’re becoming. Through circles, workshops, events, and resource connections across the DMV and Detroit, we create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and uplifted.
Our Mission
UpliftUS Collective empowers youth, families, and communities through mental wellness, education and workforce development, and community engagement. Through safe spaces, transformative experiences, and meaningful connections, we help individuals heal, grow, and thrive.
