Mission
Our mission is to build an ecosystem of stakeholders to work collaboratively to create and amplify inclusive spaces for marginalized groups. We seek to increase access and opportunities for people, support capacity building, and to help individuals activate their agency in the process.
Vision
Our vision is to support empowered students, educators, and leaders to use their agency, lived experience, and cultural wealth to make meaningful changes in their schools, communities, and the larger planet. We build the capacity for stakeholders to RRISE UP for environmental, social, and economic justice.

First Gen RRISE Scholarships
Support a First Gen student enrolling in college for the first time! The First Gen RRISE Scholarships are designed to support students whose parent(s) did not complete a four-year college or university degree. These scholarships are specifically for First Gen High School Seniors enrolling in college during the fall semester immediately upon graduating.
We know that preparing for college and navigating through various educational systems can be daunting for First Gen students. We also know that a kind gesture goes a long way. Scholarships will be awarded to First Gen students who RRISE UP for environmental, social, and economic justice.
