About Us
Our Story
Being a youth today comes with all kinds of challenges.
​
In fact, this organization was created because one 15-year-old girl faced her own struggles with anxiety. With the help of her parents, they worked earnestly until one day they discovered three powerful solutions that made all the difference.
CONNECTION, PURPOSE, and RESILIENCE.
​​
​Connection
You know that feeling when you're with your friends or family and you just feel really good, like you belong. That's what connection is all about! It's having people around who lift you up, understand, and support you no matter what.
​
​Purpose
Have you ever felt like you're just kind of drifting through life without knowing what you're really meant to do? Well, purpose gives you direction. It’s about finding something you’re passionate about and pursuing it with enthusiasm to make a difference in the world!
​
Resilience
Life throws all sorts of curveballs at us, right? Resilience is your inner strength that helps you bounce back and keep going, even when things get tough. It’s about staying determined and adaptable through challenges.
​
Empowered with these three amazing tools, this 15 year old girl was able to overcome, finding herself in a position to thrive and lift those around her.
​
Rising Up Together is all about helping you feel connected through uplifting activities, games, and a lot of fun; finding your purpose as you discover who you want to be; and becoming super resilient to thrive!
