Elites Class Empowers Students to Reach their Greatest Potential in College and Beyond
A College degree can change a life. Elites Class can make it obtainable.
We empower underrepresented students (ages 13-18) by offering resources in college admissions, financial literacy, health and wellness. Through targeted community partnerships and Industry experts, our objectives are 1) increase the number of student athletes that are academically eligible for college, 2) explain and promote financial independence, and 3) teach wellness strategies to encourage healthier lifestyles. Our vision is to prepare students for long term growth, over the decades.
Our goal is to bridge the gap one student at a time, by providing them with the resources they need
Meet the Founder: Kendric Harrison
Kendric was the youngest of 3 boys in a single-family home, attended a public high school and resided in a low-income neighborhood. His mother worked multiple jobs to pay the bills, obtained a Master’s degree and always stressed the value of education.
Kendric committed to being a self-starter with his daily goals, and obtained a future with a college degree, home ownership and full-time job. “Being that kid in that dark bedroom on my desktop computer aggressively searching for community engagement and mentors to help navigate the obstacles of life has driven this foundation from vision and is driving us to where we are going.”
Kendric has always defined success by being able to be a pillar of hope for others, particularly those from communities just like his – by helping youth in under-represented communities prepare for life after high school.
