We're grateful to Hometown News for featuring Project LIFT's Blue Collar Ball in their recent article!
This event was an incredible celebration of our 15th anniversary and a look towards the bright future ahead. A heartfelt thank you to all of our sponsors and attendees for your support and commitment to helping us change the lives of teens and young adults in our community.
YOU can drive hope and fuel a young man's future. 🔥
Project LIFT in Hobe Sound is looking for men in our community to step up as volunteer mentors. Just 1–2 hours a week can make a life-changing difference for a young man learning the trades and searching for guidance.
Your experience, your time, and your encouragement can help them build confidence, skills, and a bright future.
Our Fort Pierce team was pleased to award two of our HVAC participants, Frankie and Chris, with gift cards for their outstanding attendance and work ethic during the past quarter.
These young men are well on their way to earning their EPA-608 certifications, which will greatly benefit them moving forward.
Great work, Frankie and Chris!

Recently, a young man came to us addicted to fentanyl and on the brink of losing everything. Our team immediately connected him with the highest level of care to ensure his safety. After completing inpatient treatment, he returned to Project LIFT sober, determined, and full of hope. Today, he’s learning a trade, earning industry certifications, rebuilding his life, and proving what’s possible when compassion meets opportunity and hard work.
Stories like his are only possible because of supporters like you.
Your gift today can change the trajectory of a young person’s life. Whether a teen is struggling with trauma, substance use, or simply needs mentoring and the opportunity to secure in-demand job skills, we’ll be there.
