Frequently Asked Questions
What is Elevate?
Elevate is a grant-based program through Perham Health that is dedicated to helping adults in our area age well. We do that by hosting fun events to stay socially connected, volunteer and flexible work opportunities to stay active in our communities, and by providing help and resources to make aging more manageable.
Who are Elevate events for?
The simplest answer is all adults! Adults of all ages are invited to attend any and all of our events. While the opportunities we promote are open, we are particularly interested in reaching residents ages 45 and better to help them lengthen their lifespan.
When did Elevate start?
We received grant funding in January 2021. It took a couple of years to create a platform and get team members in place. We launched our volunteer platform in September 2022 and hosted our first events in January 2023. Since then, we've hit so many milestones and we're just getting started.
