Children Rising Information

Children Rising’s mission is to nurture and equip children to rise above the challenges created by generations of poverty, violence and educational inequity. Our vision is that every struggling child is reached by a caring community at a critical time in their life to nurture hope, the courage to dream, and the opportunity to thrive. We work closely with school teachers and principals to provide in-school one-on-one literacy tutoring, one-on-one math tutoring, and library services to primary grade school students during the school year. We also provide a work-based learning and mentorship program for high school students.
