DONOR RECOGNITION 2020 UPDATE SUPPORT

Our Mission is to inspire and empower people with neurodiversity to learn, thrive and succeed.

Our Values We believe that each and every learner at LiFT comes to value and view their individual uniqueness and diversity as a gift to be celebrated. Equally important is for each learner to respect the differences found in one another.

Our Vision A world where independence is possible for the neurodiverse.

A Letter from Leadership What a year this has been! Let us begin by offering our prayers for safety and protection for each of you, your family and our entire community. As we navigate these unprecedented times together, please know NOW, more than ever, your generous support of our students and mission is deeply appreciated and valued.

This past year, COVID-19 impacted our common humanity, but also reminded us we are a global society caring for one another. Our lives are intrinsically connected across countries, continents and diversities. Even as the future has never felt so uncertain, our faith in community and spirit of commonality has never felt so secure.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! This pandemic has forced LiFT to be even MORE nimble, innovative and strategic in our thoughts and actions - while maintaining our focus on the individual needs and safety of each and every student.

We are very PROUD of our response — what we did, how we did it, and how we continue to LiFT our students. For an organization that is only 7 years old, this operational agility is truly remarkable.

We realize now that the strategic work we have been pursuing all these years has prepared us well for this extraordinary time in our lives - with more demands and far fewer resources. As we reflect upon this past year, we are overwhelmed with gratitude.

LiFT has been blessed with amazing success because of you - our community! Your support has allowed us to provide exceptional education, unparalleled job training and meaningful entrepreneurial skills to our inspiring students who are often overlooked and marginalized in our society.

The numerous successes highlighted within this report demonstrate how YOU have helped LiFT become a leader in the landscape of special and inclusive education.

We are grateful for your support which has facilitated the success of our mission! Most importantly, however, we are grateful for the opportunities and skills we are able to provide our students so that they may reach their fullest potential and, like you, pursue THEIR dreams!

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE!

Our Story LiFT is the vision of passionate mothers who wanted an educational program that focused on independent outcomes for their own children with neurodiversity.

In 2012,

Kim Kuruzovich and Keli Mondello had a vision.

Inspired by their daughters, they set out to create an inclusive and accepting environment where children would be free from bullying so they would have the peace to learn and grow.

Today LiFT boasts an enrollment of 140(+) students and three educational programs. LiFT Academy serves Kindergarten through 12th grade; LiFT University Transition Program, is a four-year post-secondary transition program for students who have completed high school, but desire continued academics, career readiness, and intensive life skill training. LiFT Adult Day program offers continued learning and employment skills while promoting social enterprise.

As a recognized leader in the landscape of special and inclusive education, LiFT is committed to providing exceptional and equal opportunities in education, employment and life experiences for ALL!

When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.

- Alexander Den Heijer

LiFT Enrollment LiFT was blessed with another increase in enrollment for the 2019-2020 school year as more families continue to desire a specialized education for their children with neurodiversity.

An increase in enrollment means greater opportunity to impact young lives.

The 2019 - 2020 school year reached a record enrollment for LiFT.

LiFT Academy increased enrollment by 600% since it’s founding in 2013.

Together WE CAN

support LiFT University Transition Program students by purchasing items and services through its microbusinesses.

About Our Microbusinesses Our goal is to help students understand the business concept from inception to fruition and recognize that businesses are built upon intentionality. Through our microbusinesses, students develop true respect for employers and the work they put forth to be successful while understanding business fundamentals on paper and gaining wisdom through actual experience.

Positive outcomes of this program include: Increased problem-solving Enhanced decision-making abilities Improved interpersonal relationships Money management Public speaking skills Job readiness Social psychological development Heightened self-esteem At LiFT University, students are engaged in lessons that challenge them to think outside of their comfort zone.

They are expected to work collaboratively to solve problems. They are encouraged to work through their fears. They are supported by a staff that has students’ best interests at heart. Students walk away having learned things that better prepare them for life as an independent adult.

I am able to contribute to the well-being of my family now.

“At first, I didn’t like working with LiFT U Cleaning Crew, but as I got better at it, and my confidence grew, I started to look forward to it every week. Before I came to LiFT, I had never participated in vocational training. I had always wanted a job, but I didn’t know what to do to get one. In August of 2019, after a year of interning with LiFT U Cleaning Crew, I was hired by the General Manager of Studio Movie Grill. We deep clean the theaters every week. We get paid and the benefits are sensational: free movies and 50% off meals for me and all of my family members!! When I got my first check, Mrs. Mays and I did a happy dance around the classroom. I had never had a paycheck, and this was a big one!”

-Bryan McLane, LU Student

Together WE CAN

soften the substantial financial impact of COVID-19 on our organization.

We Need Your Support In these unprecedented and stressful times, we have witnessed our community come together in a multitude of ways offering aid to people and businesses in need. LiFT families, too, benefited from the outpouring of support and assistance.

When we made known in the community the financial distress some of our families suffered as a result of COVID-19, a great number of supporters of the LiFT family stepped in to help.

Thankfulness strengthens relationships and we could not feel more connected to our incredible donors and supporters. You are counted as an integral part of our team and we are truly grateful for your time, talents and treasures. Our work continues and will be long after this crisis is over. We invite you to continue to be a part of our mission and help change the landscape of learning for those with neurodiversity.

I am beyond grateful for the dedication and commitment of the staff to figuring this out and providing this experience. I know from my own work that turning an in-person experience to on-line is very, very challenging. It’s fantastic that you are willing to do this – especially given how much our kids need the interaction, content and structure.

– Betsy Torop LiFT U Parent
