Our Program
Learn More-
Community Engagement
The RISE program is deeply rooted in the NFO community, where we primarily serve Latino families, many of whom face language barriers and economic challenges. Our efforts are focused on bridging educational gaps, as evidenced by the low reading and math proficiency rates among local 3rd graders. By understanding and addressing these community-specific needs, RISE is committed to elevating the educational standards and quality of life in the NFO community.
-
Holistic Approach
RISE adopts a comprehensive approach by integrating martial arts, tutoring for children, and ESL classes for parents into our unique 1 STOP program. This design not only promotes educational advancement but also ensures cultural and linguistic accessibility. With community members actively participating in our governance and operations, we're building a program that resonates deeply with those we serve.
-
Education Empowerment
Our mission extends beyond providing services; it's about empowering families. We tackle common barriers such as transportation and childcare by offering all our services under one roof. Our focus on developing self-discipline through martial arts, personalized tutoring, and ESL classes for parents, particularly equips mothers to confidently engage with their children's education and advocate effectively in various community contexts.
