RYSE was born from Black, Indigenous, Youth of Color organizing to change conditions in Richmond and beyond. A RYSE member shared, "It’s just been an amazing experience, not just to me but to the people I brought here. I love the programs and I just love how I can come here and feel like a part of a family. Like RYSE is my other family."
