Elevate is a non-profit organization that serves as a cultural hub and destination, empowering African Nova Scotian, Indigenous, and Racialized people to come to voice. The Sankofa bird, a significant symbol in African culture, embodies the concept of reflecting on the past to better understand the present and future - in line with this, we noticed a missing cultural link within the Annapolis Valley. We noticed the absence of a cultural hub that held a brave space for all to learn about the positive impact of black, Indigenous, and Racialized history within this region - a cultural hub that was committed to the development of black, Indigenous, and Racialized cultural expression through industry, art and advocation.
Mission Statement:
Our goal is to encourage cultural advancement and education amongst individuals belonging to Black, Indigenous, and Racialized communities through a diverse range of programs and services. We collaborate closely with community partners, organizations, businesses, and educational institutions to offer social programs and opportunities that cater to their specific needs.
Vision Statement:
Our organization is dedicated to supporting and empowering Black, Indigenous, and Racialized individuals. We achieve this through inclusive learning, educational programs, historical research projects, and networking opportunities. Additionally, we provide Anti-Racism and Equity training to service providers, community-based programs, businesses, and organizations. Our goal is to broaden horizons, create opportunities, and celebrate diversity by offering a range of educational and recreational activities such as dance, arts, science, math, technology, exhibitions, festivals, and cultural expressions. We strongly believe that all forms of art, education, business, and programming must be rooted in the lived experiences and narratives of Black, Indigenous, and Racialized people."
