Rise. Set. Ready. is an empowerment program created to support underrepresented youth and young adults ages 14–24. Our goal is to help them rise above barriers, set goals with purpose, and get ready for real-world opportunities that lead to lifelong success.
This initiative focuses on four key pillars — workforce readiness, mentorship, collegiate resources and assistance, and mental health awareness. Through these pillars, we aim to guide youth toward building confidence, discovering their purpose, and achieving their goals both inside and outside the classroom.
We believe Rise. Set. Ready. will make a lasting impact on the lives of young people, empowering them to create change within themselves, their families, and their communities.
Equipping participants with essential job skills, career coaching, trade exposure, and internship opportunities that build real-world experience.
Connecting youth with positive role models and professionals who provide guidance, encouragement, and life direction.
Helping students navigate college admissions, scholarships, and academic planning while ensuring they’re supported beyond high school.
Promoting mental wellness through open conversations, workshops, and access to professional support that strengthens emotional resilience.
