We are all SO looking forward to summer! Yet given the unknowns of the coming weeks and months, elevateHER does not want any decision to enroll in our programs to be based on fear of losing money. Until further notice, if you are a participant or parent/guardian of a participant already enrolled, you may cancel your course at any time for a full refund. For Summer Programs, elevateHER will issue all full deposit and tuition refunds to all participants affected by program cancellation or changes in circumstances that don't allow for your participation. Just reach out. Be well.
