During Spring Break, we miss our students, and they miss their afterschool time at the center. One LIFT student shared, “I miss LIFT on school breaks because when I’m at LIFT, I feel welcomed, at home, and not alone. When I’m at home by myself, I really notice the difference—I miss my friends, the staff, and the community I’ve built. Without LIFT, the days feel longer and a lot quieter, and I realize how much LIFT adds to my life.”
Thank you for adding to the lives of teens in our community!!

Meet Tina Pinkston
LIFT's Executive Director

Hi! What an honor it is to get to be the Executive Director of LIFT Youth Center! The opportunity to connect with awesome people like YOU, our upLIFTers, is a big part of that honor. Thank you for supporting our students by helping to keep our services FREE to them! This takes a big investment from many sources – it does indeed, “take a village” – and I am just so thankful that you are in ours! I hope you enjoy these weekly upLIFT messages. Please reach out if you need me. Peace, Tina.
