A workforce system built from lived experience, public-service discipline, and operational execution.

Elizabeth Greene founded Elevate for Humanity after working across systems that often operate separately even though participants experience them as one journey: training, workforce funding, credential testing, apprenticeship, employer participation, compliance, tax and financial administration, and community support.

Her background crosses military logistics, federal tax practice, licensed barbering, education, skilled-trades testing, workforce development, nonprofit operations, and technology. Rather than treating those disciplines as separate projects, she built Elevate around the practical problem of moving a person from interest to eligibility, training, work-based learning, credential attainment, and employment.

As Elevate's founder and owner, Greene personally designed and built the public website and the integrated workforce technology platform as a self-taught software developer. She built the applicant intake, learning management, course studio, apprenticeship tracking, employer and host-shop portals, compliance workflows, testing-center operations, reporting, and administrative systems that run the organization.

Greene also established and leads Elevate's U.S. Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship sponsorship through 2Exclusive LLC-S, RAPIDS Sponsor ID 2025-IN-132301. She oversees the apprenticeship programs, related technical instruction, host-site participation, apprentice progress, wage schedules, and sponsor compliance.

She also leads Selfish Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, operates its VITA free tax preparation center and community-support programs, serves as a VITA site coordinator, and oversees Elevate tax operations.
