A partnership between RiseUP, West Hartford Prevention Partnership, CT Youth Recovery & community leaders. Elevate WeHa is a collaborative community initiative designed to uplift, engage, and inspire West Hartford youth through the power of art, wellness, and civic connection. Led by The RiseUP Group and the West Hartford Prevention Partnership—alongside partners like Youth Recovery C
T, the Town of West Hartford, local schools, and neighborhood organizations—Elevate WeHa offers a safe and creative space for teens to thrive. At its core, Elevate WeHa is about celebrating youth voices and empowering the next generation to shape their communities through substance-free events, creative expression, and hands-on service opportunities. From public mural projects and silent discos to community art builds and mental wellness installations, Elevate WeHa provides young people with platforms to lead, heal, and connect. Whether painting alongside professional artists, assembling art therapy kits for youth in crisis, or dancing under the stars with their peers, students involved in Elevate WeHa are building more than art—they're building a movement rooted in inclusion, hope, and local pride.
