Welcome to RISE
Resilience, Inclusion, Self-Empowerment
RISE is a support program for students who have been impacted by the justice system. We understand that being system-impacted can mean being legally, economically, or familiarly affected by the criminal justice system. This includes students with close relatives who have been incarcerated, students who have been arrested and/or convicted without incarceration, domestic violence survivors, and wards of the court.
We are committed to supporting system-impacted students, including those transitioning after incarceration. We recognize that some students may prefer to receive support while maintaining their privacy, while others may wish to connect with peers who have had similar experiences. Therefore, we offer both foundational support and access to a supportive community.
