Youth Leaders

The RISE Youth Leader Advocacy Network provides opportunities for our youth ages 14-24 to lead the change they want to see in education, their communities, and the youth legal system and our army of Youth Leaders is growing!

Our youth meet once a week for the first three weeks of the month to listen, learn, share, educate, and receive training to help them shape advocacy that will result in the change they want to see.

Our Youth Leaders come together during the fourth week of the month to fellowship and just have a good time, because rest and recreation are integral parts of fostering healthy youth development!

RISE hosts advocacy weekend trainings every year as well to allow young leaders the opportunity to learn how to make a case for change to elected officials during the legislative session.

RISE hosts debates to allow youth leaders to learn to make their case for change to their peers and to others.

Finally, RISE organizes community events that allow youth to be about the work of making the changes they want to see in their community, beyond the legislature.

If this sounds like an opportunity for you, follow the link to complete an application and our team will reach out to follow up with you!
