Youth Rising is a grassroots effort that was founded on the belief that, if given the opportunity, youth would choose to grow as leaders & develop solutions to advocate  for change.

OUR PURPOSE

The Mission of Youth Rising is to empower young people to reach their fullest potential and to be productive citizens in their community by providing opportunities in education, leadership development, evidence-based prevention work, recreation, the arts, socialization, & workforce development.

OUR WORK

Youth Rising provides high-quality, youth-led and youth-driven programming, with emphasis on youth in 6th-12th grade. Our current programs include Youth Rising and our new developing Youth Rising Teen Center.
