Shaping Lives, Building Communities
Our programs are designed to instill a sense of social responsibility, encouraging students to take an active role in their communities and make a difference in the world. Through education, we believe we can create lasting change that benefits not only our students but society as a whole.
The UPLIFT Internship Program is a two-year transformative journey designed to empower high school students with the skills, knowledge, and experiences they need to become leaders, innovators, and future educators.
UPLIFT, an acronym for Uniquely Preparing Leaders, Innovators, and Future Teachers, is an immersive and comprehensive program that equips students with the tools necessary to succeed in college, foster an entrepreneurial mindset, develop financial literacy, and build strong character while participating in practical fieldwork experiences. They will have the opportunity to work with Hosanna Academy’s programming and other small businesses.
