About the Movie 🎥
Budget cuts? These young people have a plan. Kind of... Inspired by "The Office," this original short film asks: "What if the students took over Elev8 Baltimore?" (Spoiler: wisdom and hilarity ensue!)

Why Afterschool Matters 📚
Because the hours between 3pm and 6pm can change everything. Elev8 Baltimore transforms "out of school time" into powerful learning experiences that help students from underserved communities discover their passions, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to direct their own futures.
