WHY RISE?
I joined the program to gain skills and connections to help me learn how to organise locally in a meaningful way, and hopefully learn something new about myself.
WHY RISE?
I joined RISE with a vision to cultivate a community and create a project that leaves a lasting impact. My goal is to create a supportive environment where individuals can thrive collectively. Through meaningful projects, I aim to address the unique needs of our community, making a positive and lasting contribution. Together, we can bring about transformative change and enhance the well-being of those we serve.
WHY RISE?
I joined RISE because I wanted to feel more connected to the land and area in which I reside and work. Meeting like-minded people who also want to make a difference is incredibly important to me and having the tools to make change is so amazing.

I joined RISE to get more involved in my local community and learn more about my city and the people in it.
