The School of Elevation

We invest in those, who invest in themselves

The School of Elevation

Elevating Communities,

Connecting Worlds,

Amplifying

Voices.

The School of Elevation is more than a school, it is a dynamic collective uniting talented content creators, experienced mentors, and dedicated community leaders from Tribal, Indigenous, and underserved backgrounds. We empower individuals and communities by providing access to high-demand digital skills training, crucial mentorship, and a powerful platform to amplify voices, create sustainable change, and redistribute wealth.

Applications are open uptil 3rd May for our immersive 6-month programme kicking off June 21st! This programme is designed to build careers and create community economic engines through collective content creation.

In December, we'll select eight dedicated communities as Social Growth Partners, offering them hands-on support to scale their impact globally. Join us in building a future based on collaboration, commitment, and shared success.

Why you need to be part of collective

Stop waiting.

Start Creating.

Feeling ignored? Unheard? Unseen? Maybe even robbed of opportunity by a broken, corrupt system? Let's be real: no one is coming to save you. But here's the truth: the digital world has changed everything.

There are real opportunities right now, exactly where you are, to build your dreams, live well on your terms, and elevate your community using the resources, skills and talents you already possess (all you need is a phone & internet!). The main challenge? Accessing those opportunities and getting connected.

The School of Elevation is the bridge. We provide the essential tools, practical skills, dedicated mentorship, and the powerful platform you need to take your local talent global – AND MAKE MONEY doing it.

Make money

Elevate Lives.

Forget needing a fancy business plan or a finished product. This is about starting right where you are, with what you have, right now: your incredible culture, your powerful community stories, your timeless traditions, your commitment to the mother nature, your deep wisdom. The world is hungry for authenticity, and that is your gold.

The School of Elevation more than a school, it is a collective. We are a vibrant ecosystem built for connection and shared success. Whether you're a complete beginner feeling unsure where to start, an experienced creator or professional looking to connect and expand, you belong here. This is a space to learn, grow, and importantly, make money for social good.

For beginners, we provide the pathway, the skills, the support. For those with existing skills, you can refine them, find new collaborations, and even share your expertise back into the collective, strengthening everyone on a global scale.

We focus on getting your unique narrative, your art, your perspective out to an international audience, transforming it into sustainable income for you and tangible impact for your community. We champion you as an individual, knowing you carry the strength and spirit of your people.

Don't just watch the digital world pass by. Join the collective and let's build a future where your local brilliance generates global opportunity.

Your voice matters. Your culture has power. Embrace it.

Life is a tapestry of small moments, stories, feelings, and memories. What story will you tell?

Become legendary

Share your skills. Find your purpose. Fuel your career.

By simply sharing your knowledge (for as little as 1 hour!), you directly empower aspiring creators from Tribal, Indigenous, and underserved communities from around the world. You ignite potential, gain a profound sense of worth, collect fascinating stories, and become part of something new, exciting, and genuinely world-changing. Forget quitting your job or donating money – your expertise is the currency of change here.

But we believe in WIN-WIN. This isn't just about giving; it's about mutual elevation. Want potential access to more clients? When you apply to mentor, you can optionally opt-in to join our ethical digital agency. If a client project matches your skills, we'll offer you the paid work. It's a true 360° approach where everyone benefits – students gain skills, you find purpose (and potentially clients), and communities are elevated. #Tradeoveraid

  • We hadn't planned on including English, aiming to empower through existing strengths, not impose new ways. However, a powerful, consistent request has come directly from the communities themselves. Recognising English as a vital tool for global connection, we are now also seeking passionate volunteer English Teachers for our learners worldwide, and crucially, experienced Teacher Trainers willing to help upskill our local team in Kenya. This role requires a different level of commitment, likely more regular engagement, but we envision building small, collaborative teams to make it sustainable. If empowering through language resonates with you, please reach out specifically about this unique opportunity.

What is in it for us?

Alone we empower ourself.

Together we impact.

You might be wondering, "Okay, this sounds great, but what's genuinely in it for them?" And you're right to ask. Elev-Eight operates as a self-sustaining social business – a UK-registered CIC. We cover our own costs through our digital agency work and invest directly in the School of Elevation. We don't waste time chasing donations; we spend it creating, connecting, and exploring alongside you. We, the core team, are part of this learning ecosystem too – constantly growing, sharing, and figuring things out together.

Our entire vision is built on the belief that there is enough for everyone to be successful, that a new global system is possible – one where you own your story, refuse to have it told for you by others, and stand strong against exploitation. Your journey, your culture, your voice, your financial independence – that's the value.

Our story is about finding this new way to elevate lives sustainably; your story becomes powerful proof that it works.
