See you soon!

Our annual Be a Kid! fundraiser is coming to RYSE on Friday April 26th, 2024, with the theme RYSE to the Future: Creating the World Young People Deserve.  The “RYSE to the Future” theme embodies Black, Indigenous and young people of color’s powerful vision: strong, healthy, united communities where equity is the norm and violence is neither desired nor required. The young people who organized to create RYSE over 15 years ago, and who designed the beautiful campus we steward today, have created the foundation for future generations to thrive. NOW is the time and place for youth to lead, dream, and love.

Futuristic attire is encouraged but not required!

In addition to the fun and games, we will also host a silent auction with donated items from our community. From dining experiences to art pieces, these exclusive offerings are available to the highest bidder. Here's a sneak peek of some of the items up for bid:
