LIFT

LIFT works to address the issue of poverty and limited opportunity through a two part approach: first, by having trained volunteers assist low-income individuals obtain secure income, housing, health care, and education; and, second, by encouraging LIFT alumni to engage the issue of poverty in future careers across all sectors. LIFT currently runs centers in Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC, having trained more than 5,000 volunteers who have assisted more than 30,000 individuals and families.
