​ Mission Statement
Our mission is to empower the community by fostering a sense of belonging through workshops, volunteerism, and providing essential topics for community well-being. We aim to reduce stigma, racism, and stereotypes that can paralyze communities, cultures, and homes.
​
Our workshops celebrate differences, address mental health, and build deeper community connections. We believe all women are leaders and provide tools to strengthen mental fitness, regardless of life's challenges. RiseUP offers free workshops and community events. Our foundation relies on local sponsorship, charitable grants, and business consulting, with all consulting fees going directly to the charity.
