Rise provides intensive math and science tutoring and academic mentoring and serves 8th-12th grade students attending area public schools, primarily pasadena unified school district students. Tutoring is provided by caltech undergraduate and graduate students. In addition to tutoring, rise tutees also attend college preparation workshops, campus tours, and can enroll in a summer sat/act program. In 2018-19, there were nearly 150 participants and 130 tutors for rise in addition to 19 participants and 31 tutors in the summer rise sat/act program.

Twenty-three caltech students volunteered for these other programs. The total value of service for those students who volunteered for rise and other educational outreach program is estimated to be around 74,100.”
