Hi! I'm Melissa Kaye...
...visionary, village builder, and founder of Elev8 Villages.
This movement began with a deep ache for the youth who age out of the foster system with no place to go, and a deep belief that healing happens when people are rooted in belonging.
I’ve spent my life creating spaces where people feel safe, connected and equipped to rise. Whether in boardrooms, classrooms, events or one-on-one moments of clarity and breakthrough.
Elev8 Villages is the next expression of that calling, and the most important work I’ve ever done. This national tour is about more than miles.
It’s about connection.
Inspired? Here's how you can help:
This tour is about meeting people like you, visionaries, bridge builders, believers in what is possible.
Along this journey, we're planting the seeds for future villages. Each conversation, each connection, each tiny moment of shared hope becomes part of the foundation for what’s to come.

If Elev8 moves your heart, I invite you to walk with us.
If something in this journey has stirred a deeper curiosity, a curiosity about your own purpose, vision and how your life might impact the world, I invite you to visit my personal website. That’s where I share more of my coaching, encouragement, and the work I do beyond the village walls.
Whatever brought you here, I’m so grateful you came.
