YouthRise is a newly created, free, youth focused program grounded in empowerment, growth, and healing. It was created with the purpose of preventing violence on all levels (individual, relationships, community, and societal factors) by establishing community and empowering youth ages 11-18 in and around the Madison area to learn, grow, heal, and advocate.
YouthRise provides an innovative approach to violence prevention by,
-
-
- Bringing youth in the community together
- Connecting youth with professionals
- Empowering youth through leading discussions, workshops, and going on field trips
- Providing resources for youth to take home and utilize (e.g. mental health resources, recreational activities, social media tips, suicide prevention strategies, etc.)
-
Youth are able to attend all dates or drop in for specific topics.
More information on specific topics will be posted soon.
