Empowering Community Change
Who We Are
At LiftED UNlimited Inc., we are more than a nonprofit—we are a movement of empowerment, education, and transformation. Our mission is to break barriers and uplift entire communities by ensuring that educators, students, and families have the support, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed.
We believe that true change happens when schools, families, and communities work together. That’s why we take a holistic, adaptable, and community-driven approach to addressing educational and socioeconomic challenges.
Our Mission
To empower communities by partnering with schools and families to improve educational resources, enhance economic stability, and foster lasting, holistic change. Through a public health approach, we address immediate needs while supporting long-term socioeconomic elevation. Every individual we serve is met with dignity, respect, and empowerment.
Our Beginning
LiftED UNlimited Inc. was born from a vision: a world where every educator feels valued, every student has access to opportunity, and every family is supported on their journey to success. Our founder, Rachel Serrano, recognized the systemic challenges in education—burnout among teachers, students lacking mentorship, families struggling to stay engaged—all perpetuated by barriers that could be removed with the right support.
Understanding that lasting change requires a public health approach tailored to each community, Rachel set out to build an organization that uplifts schools, families, and communities in a holistic, sustainable way.
Our Vision
We envision a future where families have the tools to succeed, educators feel valued, and communities thrive. Our goal is to create a ripple effect of transformation—where every child has the support they need to dream big, every educator is empowered to inspire, and every family has the foundation to rise.
Why We Exist
Too many teachers are undervalued, too many students lack opportunities, and too many families struggle to break the cycle of economic hardship. LiftED UNlimited Inc. exists to change this reality by providing support where it's needed most.
Through collaborative partnerships, data-driven solutions, and community-led initiatives, we ensure that every school, educator, student, and family has what they need to succeed—not just today, but for generations to come.
