Mental Wellness Education For Young People
Rising Youth is a peer-led organization teaching local high schoolers about mental wellness. We believe that mental wellness is an essential skill to be taught, strengthen, and cultivated.
Our Approach
Our approach is peer-led. This means the teachers are young adults, including local medical and undergraduate students. We strive to be genuine, non-judgmental, and understanding of all walks of life. By utilizing peers, our high school students can feel there is someone they can relate to and look up to as role models.
Our Hope
Our hope lies in our future generation. Those who have been systemically disadvantaged and taken advantage of and who are the definition of resiliency and strength. We believe in investing in our youth so that they may thrive, and not only survive. We believe in the laughter, curiosity, and authenticity of our youth.
We are Volunteer-Based
This organization is a testament to the love and care from our founder, student leaders, and student volunteers. We do not generate income from this work, but in fact dedicate our time and passion because we believe in investing in our young people and the local community. We believe in helping one another. We believe in collective growth and healing.
