Rise Academy

Redefining Identity through Service & Empowerment

RISE Academy is a school year journey in which young men grades 6th through 12th engage in intensive self-reflection and develop positive critical thinking habits. RISE Academy teach young men to be responsible for their actions, helpful to their community, learn about the benefits of further education, and much more! Over the course of 30 weeks, mentees attend group sessions, take educational trips, and receive coaching from our mentors and our ever-expanding community partners. Youth join the academy by application or referral by a school, parent, or social agency.
