“Youth programming includes after school, summer school, and impact on youth. We service approximately 75 - 100 scholars at different times during the year. Our philosophy is to teach reading, writing and public speaking through culturally representative material, the arts, and small group or one-on-one sessions. Attending scholars improve their reading levels from 1 to 2 grade levels and their confidence grows tremendously.”

“The community outreach program is available to rise participants, which we consider to be our rise family. This program supports our rise families so that our scholars can live and learn healthy and thriving lives. Support is given through various ways- first time homebuyer seminars, school supplies, first day outfits, family fun night.”
