About Us

Who We Are

Rising Up Together is empowering youth everywhere to connect, find purpose, and build resilience for life!

Our Story

  This organization was created because one 15-year-old girl unexpectedly found herself struggling with anxiety. With the help of her parents and community, they discovered three powerful keys.


CONNECTION   PURPOSE   RESILIENCE


For the next three years, they worked with hundreds of professionals, interns, and volunteers throughout the nation to devise an effective program that would empower youth from all walks of life.

Did you know?

Did you know 1 out of 5 Americans will experience a mental illness in a given year? 


This is a HUGE problem in our society. To make it worse, it's NOT a topic we openly talk about. This can cause others to feel embarrassed or suffer in silence rather than share and feel supported and loved. 


Studies have shown by becoming socially & emotionally resilient can PREVENT depression & anxiety.
