From a Statistic to a Doctor: Helping Single Parents Rise.
We provide the support and education single parents need to move past survival and achieve their degrees.
Why We Exist
The Gap Between Surviving and Thriving
“At one point in my life, I was called a statistic—a high school dropout, disqualified from continuing my education the moment I became pregnant. I was shown how to survive, but no one ever asked me what I wanted. And what I wanted was my education.” — Dr. Renee, Founder & CEO
The Reality: Standard assistance programs offer food and housing, but they often stop there. They help you survive today, but they don’t always help you build a tomorrow.
The R.I.S.E. Difference: We believe that a degree is the most powerful tool to break generational cycles. While others provide the safety net, we provide the ladder. We remove the barriers—uncertainty, isolation, and lack of guidance—that keep single parents from finishing their education.
Our Mission
To empower single parents to overcome barriers and achieve their educational goals by providing holistic support that builds resilience, confidence, and long-term stability for their families.
Our Vision
A future where single parents complete their education, break generational cycles, and inspire their children through strength, resilience, and opportunity.
