Our story
Every teenager has more in them.
NELI grew from Navigate Camp under Teenz Nation at The Elevation Church into an independent registered youth NGO.
Today, NELI brings teenagers together through camps, conferences, bootcamps and year-round leadership development, helping them grow in character and become positive role models in their homes, schools, churches and nation.
