Over the last twenty four years our program has grown each year. With several new programs being implemented this year RISE will continue to be a major force in the New York City area. We at RISE believe in order to combat drugs, educational problems, and crime that it is necessary to provide quality alternatives for the youth in our community. With the combination of athletics, HIV prevention, pregnancy prevention, drug & violence prevention, and cultural enrichment we believe that we can play a valuable role in the molding and shaping of youth in our community. Currently we receive funding through the NYC Department of Youth & Community Development (DYCD).
Our organization will continue to flourish because we have the dedication, experience, and most of all the love of our youth to inspire us to continue to find a way. However think of how much more we could accomplish with your help.
Please free to contact us at your earliest convenience. We appreciate your time and patience and hope we can work together to make a difference.
