I admire Rise’s dedication to empower individuals and their ideas. Supporting Rise’s courageous and creative participants in turning their dreams into reality has been an extremely rewarding experience.

The passion with which the members of Rise give to their projects is truly amazing. Creative, hard working and an amazing example of how will & determination can overcome any obstacle. Rise was more of an educational experience for me, than for those I was helping. Anyone looking to give back and get back, Rise is the place to do so!
