Meet Our TeamUplifted Families is a youth-led, faith-inspired nonprofit dedicated to supporting under-resourced families across Washington, DC and Maryland. We believe that every family deserves compassion, dignity, and hope — and we work to make that a reality through community service, educational support, and resource-driven programs.
Founded by young leaders with a heart for service, Uplifted Families grew out of a simple belief: when we uplift families, we uplift entire communities. Guided by our values of faith, compassion, and community care, we create opportunities for families to access support that strengthens their well-being and empowers their future.
We partner with schools, churches, and local organizations to identify real needs within our community and respond with practical, meaningful help. Our programs — including our Family Resource Guide, educational assistance, donation drives, and outreach efforts — are designed to meet families where they are and offer support that truly makes a difference.
As a youth-driven initiative, we bring fresh energy, empathy, and a deep understanding of the challenges families face. We are committed to serving with integrity, kindness, and purpose, believing that small acts of care can spark lasting change.
Our vision is to build a stronger, more connected community where every family feels seen, supported, and uplifted. Together, through service and partnership, we strive to create a world where compassion leads, hope is shared, and every family has the opportunity to thrive.
