What is RISE?

The Motivation Group provides youth and young adults with the knowledge and skills necessary to start or enhance youth support and advocacy networks in their community, influence youth policy, and more.

In addition to cultivating unique leadership skills and increase understanding of legislation, The Motivation Group aims at equipping young leaders with wellness tools and action plan strategies for personal and group efforts. Young adults and Supportive Adults will identify advocacy issues for their communities, and devise strategies to use their experiences to help promote system changes.
