Meet the Visionaries Rysing for RYSE Commons

This past October, the RYSE community celebrated a decade of youth power, resilience, love, rage, and our collective work toward liberation for us all. Thank you for joining us in lifting up and celebrating our inspiring and transformative youth leaders.

Here’s looking forward to the next 10 years of RYSE—with the campaign for RYSE Commons, our 37,000+ square foot campus expansion.

We are thrilled to announce that The California Endowment has committed $1 million to our campaign!

We are also thrilled to introduce you to our Capital Campaign Committee.

We are Rysing for Richmond.

We are the voices in our community—the voices of young people, adult allies, parents, educators, organizers, leaders, RYSE alumni, and more—rysing in support of RYSE Commons. Here’s our story.

Will you Ryse with us?


November at RYSE

This month, RYSE youth completed and unveiled their “Keep Families Together” community mural at the Richmond Art Center and at the 8th Annual SF Youth Arts Summit, celebrated winning Measure H at our annual election night party, and attended the Youth Organizing California (YO! Cali) Steering Committee Retreat in Fresno. Check out some of those photos, plus more from recent youth organizing meetings and celebrating our Youth of Honor Awardees recognized by the Courageous & Emerging Leadership Academy and RPAL. Read more about this month’s highlights below.
