Forysth County, GA, June 29, 2025: A dynamic new student-led initiative, ElevateGen, has launched in Forsyth County with the goal of helping students turn ambition into action. Created by a group of young leaders in partnership with Idealogy Media, ElevateGen is a platform designed to bridge the gap between education and real-world experience for high school and college students, as well as early-career seekers.
The organization, founded in 2025, aims to empower youth by connecting them to internships, volunteer opportunities, mentorships, and professional development resources—all curated by students, for students.
“Students shouldn’t have to wait until college or beyond to find their purpose,” said one of the ElevateGen officers. “ElevateGen is about creating a future where every student feels prepared, supported, and inspired.”
The 2025 ElevateGen student leadership team includes Ada Duggal, Viva Mathew, Siri Akarapu, Aneesh Miryala, Sai Kamidi, Mirabel Horn, Leanne Mathews, Angela Leo, Jayirth Joshi, and Akanksha Puram—each dedicated to building a professional and engaging space for their peers.
Established in 2025 by a group of enthusiastic student organizers in partnership with Idealogy Media and supported by community visionaries Praveen Puram, Vinci Mathews, Nikki, Ram Akarapu, Aravind and Lakshmi (Lucky). The platform is built on the belief that students thrive when given early access to opportunity. ElevateGen connects individuals at or above the high school level with volunteer opportunities, internships, resume workshops, and career-building resources — all curated by students, for students. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between education and experience by offering support to those who may not have established networks or mentorship opportunities.
ElevateGen is especially vital in a time when many students leave high school feeling unprepared and unsure of their career paths. By offering early access to experience and high-level mentorship, the initiative is helping students build confidence, discover their passions, and gain a competitive edge in today’s workforce.
“Our mission is to connect students with real-world opportunities and career-building tools,” said the team. “Whether it’s preparing for college, launching a career, or starting a business, we want to give young people the confidence to take that first step.”
ElevateGen welcomes collaboration from professionals, companies, schools, and educational institutions looking to support the next generation of talent.
The official ElevateGen Kick-Off event will take place on the evening of July 1. All interested students and supporters are encouraged to attend and take the first step in elevating their future.
