AT A GLANCE
WHY WE EXIST
We at Rise Up City exist to encourage the potential of every individual through purpose, relationships/community, and knowledge, allowing them to see the value within themselves and all that they can achieve. We exist to change the culture, to innovate, and to be a part of communities who could use a little hope. We exist to create environments that are healthy, empowering, inspirational, and always growing, so that individuals can be the best version of themselves for others.
HOW WE BEHAVE
We at Rise Up City behave with purpose, passion, and intentionality in pursuit of producing the best possible service to our youth and communities.
WHAT WE DO
We partner with communities that are in need of revitalization, support, and opportunity. By working together with local businesses and organizations that share a heart for their neighborhoods, we help bring life back into under-resourced areas through community events, restored public spaces, and meaningful outreach initiatives—all provided at no cost.
Our events, held semi-annually or annually, serve as powerful touchpoints for connection, inspiration, and growth. In addition, we offer mentorship programs that connect youth and families with dedicated professionals and volunteers who are passionate about helping the next generation thrive.
These partnerships create a network of hope, support, and opportunity—giving children, schools, and entire communities the chance to rise above challenges and step into their full potential.
