Elevating Cincinnati’s Future Leaders
We provide the missing link between first-generation college students and our local business community.
Coaching and support when it’s needed most.
Navigating college can be especially daunting for first-generation students from disadvantaged backgrounds, who often lack access to essential support, resources, and networks needed for success in their academic journeys and future careers. Meanwhile, Cincinnati's vibrant business community is actively seeking diverse, talented individuals ready to bring fresh perspectives and drive innovation.
At the heart of Level Up Cincinnati is our commitment to bridging this critical divide. As a forward-thinking non-profit, we offer coaching, support, and personal development to empower these aspiring first-generation college students. With the backing of an extensive network of professional coaches and leaders, we're dedicated to catapulting students into rewarding careers and elevating their lives to unprecedented levels.
Providing the support young leaders need to thrive.
Personal Development
Clarify dreams and unlock pathways forward.
Through a series of topics and lessons, we help students find who they are, what they want for their future, and provide insights to help them achieve their goals.
1-On-1 Growth Coaching
Connect students and mentors through college and beyond.
We connect students with two types of mentors - a transition coach and a career coach. These relationships enable young leaders to thrive, through college and into their careers.
Launch Network
Instantly catapult careers through networks and exposure.
Level Up Scholars gain access to a network that might otherwise be unavailable - helping propel their entry into the workplace. Our network includes a diverse group of business and community leaders committed to helping students find high-trajectory jobs, locally.
