About us

Elevating individuals through successful employment

Since 2020, we have helped people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Northern Colorado find work they enjoy, and as of 2026 we serve Cheyenne, Wyoming too.

Our mission

Everyone should enjoy their job

At Elevate 4:14, we work with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to find the best fit for long-term success in employment. We believe everyone should enjoy their job and career.

To make that happen, we take the time to get to know each person and tailor our services to their needs, so we're matching people with jobs that fit both what they need and what they want. We also work with our community to build awareness of what hiring and working with an individual with IDD means, and how everyone can be successful together.
