The RISE program is a community-driven initiative that reduces barriers and helps people feel connected, supported, and empowered. Through inclusive, culturally grounded, and accessible programs, participants build resilience, develop new skills, and strengthen their sense of belonging.

Our programs use a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive approach, creating safe spaces to connect, learn, and grow.

Fall Schedule

All sessions are free, trauma-informed, and open to all, fostering a safe and welcoming environment for connection, learning, and growth.
