Arelvo helps students discover who they are while becoming leaders in their communities. Founded in 2023, we support students facing stereotypes so they find confidence, speak up, and achieve more whether it be in school and in life.

Many young people are misunderstood or overlooked. This can stop them from getting involved or believing in their future. Arelvo exists to change this. We build a space where every student is encouraged to share their story, reach for big goals, and feel proud of their roots.
Arelvo stands for Aspire, Resilience, Empower, Lead, Voice, Opportunity. These six words guide us. We help youth aim higher, stay strong, build real skills, speak up, and find new chances to succeed.
Our mission is to break old ideas and barriers that make success harder for students. Arelvo brings politicians, professors, leaders, and others to speak directly with our students. These talks open minds and show what’s possible. We want every student ready to lead and learn without losing who they truly are.
We welcome students from all backgrounds who want to explore their identity, build skills, and create real change through civic engagement and academic success.
