Mission statement
Uplift’s mission is to create and sustain public schools of excellence that empower students to reach their highest potential in college and the global marketplace, and that inspire in students a lifelong love of learning, achievement and service in order to positively change their world.
2023-2024 Goals
Our communities choose Uplift for a high-achieving International Baccalaureate (I.B.) network of schools that ensures that our scholars thrive as individuals, take pride in their own and other cultures, and are critical thinkers prepared for college and career.

Volunteer opportunities
Uplift partners with individuals and organizations to support our 45 schools across the Dallas-Fort Worth community. Reading to kids, supporting career exposure, helping at special events — we need all kinds of support and value your time. Visit uplifteducation.org/support to learn more and to sign up as a volunteer.
Donation opportunities
It costs Uplift $12 million per year to provide programs not found in traditional public schools. Philanthropy is what covers the gap, empowering Uplift to teach, nurture and develop 23,000 scholars in a rigorous academic culture that is also compassionate and inclusive.
