Hello, my name Luis Cubas, also known as “Cubas.” I first heard about RYSE in 2013 when I was a senior in high school in 2013. I started coming to RYSE as a youth member to learn about the different programs that were available. I’ve been officially on RYSE staff for almost a year and a half now, working as the College Access Coordinator.

Thank you to everyone who celebrated the RYSE Commons Groundbreaking with us. We are grateful to everyone who joined us—whether it was in person, through our Facebook livestream, or in spirit—last Friday, September 6, 2019, as we celebrated the bold dreams of young people in this community.

Our Education for Liberation Interns on RYSE Commons
As part of the Education for Liberation summer internship program, we develop our youth leadership skills through participating and facilitating a series of storytelling, healing, and educational justice workshops.
RYSE Commons will be a space where young educators like us can continue to learn how to build equity within our education system, and disrupt the cradle-to-prison pipeline.
