Welcome

senior year is very interesting to me so far, like my skool, ( el cerrito high) is not as it ussually is, this year, its  very scattered, and very disorgannized. there has already been a huge freshmen friday, several many fights and lot's of new people that dont know what there doing in the school and to me it's very interesting why it's so many people that's not trained.

 What's up beautiful people of the East Bay!? I am personally inviting YOU to come out this Saturday Aug. 21 from 12-5pm to this year RYSE back to school SUMMER JAM! Last year we gave out SCHOOL SUPPLIES, FOOD, RESOURCES, INFORMATION and had LIVE ART and LIVE MUSIC. A lot of people asked us to do it again that we had to do it all over again this year. Youth at the RYSE Center have been creating promo videos, outreaching and organizing the event. 
Three reasons why you should come:

okay well i was introduced to ryse less than a year ago and they have already helped me with so much. my friend invited me to come one day, he gave me a tour and i became a member. at first i would just come and use the computers but after a few days i started taking advantage of all the resources they have at the center. my counselor sheerene has helped me a ton with all kinds of aspects in my life. cecilia helped me complete a wellness plan which really helped me set goals for the future and see what i can do now to make them happen.
