RISE offers qualified students a scholarship to a private or parochial school of their choice. In addition, RISE students receive financial assistance with books, uniforms, tutoring services and summer programs.
RISE also matches volunteer mentors with children of parents who are currently incarcerated.
The mission of RISE is to provide educational opportunities and mentoring to children of currently and formerly incarcerated parents in order to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty, violence and addiction that so often threatens them.
