RYSE is a movement led by young people that ensures dignity for youth, their families, and communities.

Programming at RYSE is anchored in our Theory of Liberation (ToL), a value system in which young people have the lived knowledge and expertise to identify, prioritize, and direct the activities and services necessary to thrive.

RYSE Programs are designed to provide youth with tools to build a better city.
