Rise Up! is dedicated to inspiring, influencing, and impacting kids to one day attain post high school training and education degrees through our mentoring, small groups and after school programs.

What's Happening...

As we reach the end of another school year, it’s natural to take time and reflect on what the Lord has been doing here at Rise Up! Over this past year we have tried to create a culture of clarifying the “win” in our staff and our programs. We took some time recently to write as many “wins” as we could think of that have happened over the past year. So we say thank you to you, our prayer partners, for being a part of these “wins”. Listed below are just a handful of our wins and as you pray for us this month, let’s praise God for these and for all He’s done for us.
