Rise

RISE is a dedicated organization focused on providing scholarships and mentoring services to children of currently and formerly incarcerated parents in Rhode Island. Established in 1997, RISE aims to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty, crime, and addiction through increased educational opportunities and support from volunteer mentors.

The organization's success is highlighted by its remarkable graduation rates, with 100% of its students graduating high school since 2012, significantly above state averages. RISE relies on the commitment of its mentors, who have contributed thousands of volunteer hours to help foster self-esteem, academic achievement, and career awareness among the youth they serve.
