What is RISE?
An initiative under Canada Service Corps, RISE helps young people co-create community projects and contribute in strengthening our civic and democratic fabric by engaging on topics that interest them.
RISE is developing projects in seven cities across Canada: Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Halifax and Vancouver.
Who can join?
RISE is designed for young people aged 18-30 with little or no previous experience in volunteering.
Ambassadors are required to:
- Live in or near one of our hub cities: Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Halifax, or Vancouver.
- Make a weekly commitment of 6 hours (3 hours in person and 3 hours of additional work for 15 weeks).
- Attend a mandatory all-expenses paid weekend retreat at the beginning of the program.
- Have the desire to learn, grow, and explore alongside their peers!
Theme
As an organization mandated with engaging all youth in our democracy, it is important for us to create space for young people who aren’t included in everyday conversations. Democracy starts locally and starts with the issues that concern us in our day to day lives.
To bring youth together around some of the biggest challenges we collectively face, we identify a theme to engage in each year. The purpose is to inspire and direct the community project you will create.
Our partners
RISE is funded in part by Canada Service Corps, a national movement that empowers youth aged 15–30 to gain experience and build important skills while giving back to their community.
