How It Works
Three simple steps to create real impact in your community.
01
Get the Challenge
Every first of the month a brand new challenge drops right here. Simple, fun, and designed to create a real moment between you and someone in your community.
02
Go Do It
No special equipment. No budget. No perfect conditions needed. Just you and the decision to show up.
03
Tell Us What Happened
Come back and share your story. A sentence, a photo, a paragraph. However you want to tell it. Your story becomes part of the Rise movement.
Monthly Challenges
Every month, we drop a new challenge designed to create real impact in your community. No experience required. Just show up.
Coming Soon
Write the Letter
Write a letter to a young person in your life telling them exactly what you see in them. Specific, honest, and real. Then deliver it.
Coming Soon
Teach What You Know
You know something someone else needs to learn. This month your challenge is to teach it. One person, one skill, one hour.
Coming Soon
Show Up in Person
Find a youth program or event in your community and show up. Just be a face in the room that says someone outside this circle cares.
Coming Soon
Say It Out Loud
Tell someone about a young person doing something remarkable. Use whatever platform you have to make them visible for a moment.
What the Rise Community Is Doing
Real stories from real young people doing extraordinary things. Your story could be next.
Marcus, Atlanta
I told my little cousin about the YoungArts program. She did not think she was good enough to apply. She applied anyway. We are waiting to hear back together.
Diane, Chicago
I sent my coworker the Scholly link. She found three scholarships she qualifies for in under an hour. She cried. I cried. That was a good Tuesday.
Remi, Los Angeles
I introduced my neighbor's son to someone I know in film production. They had coffee. He got a set visit. He has not stopped talking about it since.
Sofia, Miami
I am building a bilingual podcast for first generation college students navigating applications, financial aid, and imposter syndrome. Episode one drops next month.
