RISE

RISE is a national nonprofit that educates and empowers the sports community to eliminate racial discrimination, champion social justice and improve race relations in our country. RISE’s programs are rooted in its uniquely designed curriculum of experiential learning activities that increase an understanding of racial equity and build cultural competence, equipping athletes, students, coaches and sports administrators at all levels of sport with the tools to be leaders in addressing racism, prejudice, diversity and inclusion. RISE often takes a train-the-trainer approach to administer its programs, where administrators, coaches and athletes are trained to facilitate our curriculum with their teams, strengthening the capacity of their organization to independently address these topics.
