Launch A Brighter Future

Students have to leave to learn. That is the philosophy that guides our work at RiseUp. Each experience in the real-world learning program is designed to help students build a picture of what is possible after high school.

Students participate in everything from internships to college classes at the local community college. Three full-time staff ensure each student has a skilled advisor, a learning opportunity outside of the building each week, a clear plan for post-secondary success.

All of these services come at a cost beyond what is funded by the state in basic student funding. Each year, RiseUp raises funds to make sure this program is available for 100% of our students now and for years to come.

Donations can be made in any amount and recurring donations help provide stability to our program. Pick the level that is right for you:

$5,000- places 4 students in an internship for a year
$1,000- puts on one school wide community event
$500- supports 1 industry tour for the entire school
$100- purchases Advisory class supplies for 1 student
