Uplifme serves as a national resource hub that posts information on resources and events that address the social determinants of health . The site provides real time information on available resources, in a consumable format, for both people who need resources and social service professionals seeking resources for the people that they serve. Working at the intersection of poverty and health, Uplifme is a bridge that connects people to information and services provided by the public and non-profit sectors, with the goals of increasing health equity and literacy by making information and resources accessible.
Through the Uplifme Institute and Uplifme Executive Coaching, social service professionals can learn skills to increase their efficiency and effectiveness, advance in their careers and cultivate practices for well-being.
In 2024, Uplifme started the series “Community Connections – Uplifting the work of the Public and Non-Profit Sector”, with the goal of highlighting the multifaceted work of the organizations that serve their communities every day. The goals of the series are to ensure the public is aware of the many resources available to them, as well as to support opportunities for public and non-profit organizations to forge new partnerships, collaborations and proactively innovate, to uplift our communities together.
