Higher Up is a new non-profit that serves current and graduated Hightstown High School students, including those who are underrepresented and underprivileged, by curating and coordinating meaningful summer jobs and career-essential internships.  Placement opportunities are complemented by on-point support programs such as resume building and interview coaching, business etiquette and wardrobe basics; and through engagement with motivational speakers and affinity-building mentors and cohorts.

At Higher Up, it’s our determination for students to feel confident in their honed skills, experientially on-par with their peers, and excited about reaching towards their future success.  Of equal importance to us is for hometown businesses, skilled tradespeople and corporations; sponsors, donors and volunteers to feel proud and socially responsible when committing to the growth and development of local students – and come to truly share in their success.
