AHC UPLIFT
Connecting people with support. Creating opportunities to grow.
UPLIFT is Atlanta Healing Community’s whole-person, family-centered initiative. We meet individuals and families where they are, help them find what they need, and open doors to learning, work, volunteering, and community.
Connect is the map. UPLIFT is the guide.
AHC Connect
Our free public directory of local resources, organizations, and services. Anyone can browse it, with no sign-up required.
AHC UPLIFT
The hands-on part. We help you figure out what you need, connect you with the right resource, help clear the barriers in the way, and follow up to make sure the connection worked.
What UPLIFT Does
Understand needs
We listen first and ask, “What would be most helpful to you right now?”
Connect to resources
We link you with trusted partners for food, housing, health, jobs, family support, and more.
Bridge barriers
When transportation or other obstacles get in the way, our volunteers help close the gap.
Create opportunities
Workshops, community events, job connections, and volunteer roles with local partners.
Follow through
With your permission, we check in to make sure you got what you needed, and we learn from every connection.
Strengthen community
People here are contributors, not just recipients. Everyone has something to offer.
The UPLIFT Approach
A flexible process, not a checklist. You can start anywhere.
- U: Understand. Learn what you want and what’s already working.
- P: Prioritize. Put safety, essential needs, and deadlines first.
- L: Link. Connect with verified resources, partners, and programs.
- I: Invest. Build skills through workshops, training, and career exploration.
- F: Foster. Grow belonging, purpose, and connection.
- T: Track & Transform. Follow up, learn what works, and keep improving.
Four Levels of Support
The levels organize resources, not people. You can get help in any area at any time.
Red: Safety & Stability
Food, clothing, housing, jobs, transportation, and emergency help.
Orange: Physical Wellness
Healthcare access, nutrition, exercise, and preventive care.
Yellow: Mental & Emotional
Life coaching, family support, stress management, and counseling referrals.
Green: Purpose & Spirit
Classes, creative arts, spiritual practice, and volunteering.
