Since 2011, the LiveUp Empowerment Network – a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit-has been on a mission to empower the “under-visioned,” not the underserved.

We exist to help individuals exceed essential life needs and unlock their full potential through life readiness, professional development, and career training.

To date, we’ve impacted over 5,000 individuals ages 12 and up, along with families of all sizes, through our community building resource-strong communities and restoring hope where it’s needed most.

At the heart of our work is the LiveUp Virtual Community Center model we’ve created – a hub designed to guide, equip, and connect people to life-changing resources. We are here to practically prepare and empower every generation with tools that lead to lasting transformation.

– Life skills training

– Resource Matching
– Career readiness workshops
– Workforce development and job placement
– Mentoring and youth development
– Food pantry partnerships
– Housing / Neighborhood revitalization
– Community resource navigation

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive-and we’re here to make that happen.
