MEET OUR TEAM

Mary Sieckert

Executive Director

Hi, I'm Mary Sieckert. Growing up, I was fortunate to be surrounded by amazing people that were supportive of my dreams and ideas. They always encouraged me that I could do anything if I set my heart and mind to it. I am passionate to create a safe place for teens to find that same supportive system that I had. I believe that every single teenager in this community has the ability to be successful!

Elevate Director

Hey everyone, I'm Tirzah Hudson. I have such a heart for youth, as a teen myself, I struggled with so many big questions like who am I? What am I here for? Does anyone care? Luckily I had some amazing people in my life that pointed me to the one with all the answers! I dreamed of a youth center where teens could come and hang out, a place where loving adults would be there to mentor, guide, and just love them. And Elevate is THAT place! I love youth and I want to be there for the Next Generation!

I'm Jolee.  I love drinking coffee, long boarding, running, but I especially love to help people any way I can.  I am really passionate about making sure everyone feels included and loved.  I believe Elevate is a place for teens to come feel loved and a place to have fun.  That is something I am grateful to be a part of in hopes of making the smallest difference in the lives of teens.
