“My favorite part of the mural is the tree hugging the women. I love it because it makes the mural seem like we all need to be loved even by something as beautiful as nature.”
-Isaac Rivera, Artscapes intern and RYSE member since 2023
Check out the newest artistic addition to RYSE, “The People’s Garden,” a vibrant and colorful mural adorning the entrance to our Health Justice Center.
Last week at RYSE, we celebrated Wellness Day, an afternoon of self-care, de-stressing, and community connection. Young people participated in healing activities such as an acai bowl cooking class, a self-identify storytelling workshop, a community partner resource fair and more! We collected input from staff and members to break down the concept of “wellness” and created a pro-tip guide about wellness and how to take care of yourself during stressful times.
From everyone here at RYSE, we’d like to thank our beloved community for attending Be a Kid! RYSE to the Future in April. We had a lot of fun and hope you did too!
We successfully raised $60,000 for RYSE’s Youth Emergency Care Fund. With your contribution, we are able to provide timely and direct funds to young people to access basic human rights – safe housing, food, and health services.
RYSE exists because twenty years ago, Queer and Trans BIPOC Young People had the courage to organize and demand a space in their city that centers their collective healing, bold visions, and immense creativity. Young people who understood the assignment of justice for all, including the generations after them. Today’s generation of youth and adults feel the power, love, and care of our youth founders as they enter the RYSE Campus. It is the foundation and ongoing fire for us to take bold steps together toward RYSE’s Theory of Liberation.
