Welcome to Lift Up Lab Inc.

At Lift Up Lab Inc., we believe that social-emotional wellness is a human right, not a luxury. Rooted in equity, empathy, and empowerment, we deliver transformative Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programming to primarily youth, adults, and seniors in communities, helping individuals and neighborhoods thrive across every stage of life.

What We do?

We design and deliver culturally responsive, community-rooted SEL programs that foster:

Self-Awareness
Emotional Regulation
Healthy Relationships
Responsible Decision-Making
Community Building

Our programs blend journaling, interactive workshops, health & fitness yoga & meditation, nutrition education, entrepreneurship & presentation skills, and creative expression to build lifelong skills and strengthen emotional resilience.

Lift Up Lab Inc addresses social challenges in the broader community by implementing a multifaceted approach aimed at empowering with essential skills and knowledge.

By focusing on education and skill-building in areas such as social-emotional intelligence, entrepreneurship, presentation skills, financial literacy, and more, Lift Up Lab Inc empowers youth to overcome barriers, seize opportunities, and positively impact their communities, contributing to broader social change and transformation.
