The Name Says It All

We’re here to elevate hope in the places it’s been buried.

Behind bars.
In shelters.
Through trauma.
Inside stories that were never supposed to be redemptive.

We don’t just believe in second chances.
We believe in beautiful first ones, too.

LV8HOPE is a creative nonprofit that uses songwriting, storytelling, and spiritual formation to help people rebuild their identity—starting with the sound of their own voice.

OUR HEARTBEAT: WRITE IT OUT. SING IT FORWARD.

Founded in 2022, elevateHOPE was never meant to be a program.
It was born out of a conviction:

That creativity isn’t just a gift—it’s a gateway to healing.

We help people who feel forgotten… remember.
Who they are.
What they’ve survived.
And who God still says they can be.

THE WORK WE DO: SONGWRITING THAT SETS PEOPLE FREE

We use songwriting, storytelling, and spiritual formation to help people reclaim their identity and reconnect with God in the process.

We walk into prisons, shelters, and recovery centers—and we don’t bring sermons.
We bring notebooks.
We bring music.
We bring space for pain to speak… and space for the Spirit to answer.

Whether it’s our 42-day songwriting curriculum or a one-night creative revival or worship event, every moment is built around this mission:

Turn pain into poetry.
And give the mic back to the people who never should’ve lost their voice.

WHERE WE’RE GOING

We’re building a creative movement where restoration is the new reputation.
Where inmates become worship leaders.
Where broken stories become breakout songs.
Where the next revival doesn’t happen in a stadium—but in a cell.

We’re here to elevate hope—and the sound of freedom is getting louder.
