Rise Up is a not-for-profit youth volunteer organization founded by youth and lead by youth. Our core team is based in Seattle. Rise Up was created to give our generation a chance to give back to the community that has given us so much. We realize the privilege that we have and the privileged lifestyles we are able to maintain. It's time that our generation rises up to the the challenges we face due to our age and overcome them to make a difference in our communities.

Homelessness is a growing issue in all cities across our country, and as youth who are living a comfortable lifestyle, it is our duty to give back to those that don't have much.

There's a lot of things we use everyday, that go unnoticed and seem so simple. Things like toothbrushes, toothpaste, sunscreen, tissues, bandaids, lotion, and chapstick. It's not until we don't have these simple thing anymore do we realize their importance.

Just a month ago, we were just normal high school students, going about our day. However, all it took was one text message and all of us came together. This is the kind of power we have. We can share on social media, forward in text messages, and constantly keep up-to-date on local news; all on our phones.

One way that you can join our Rise Up community and help our cause is by becoming a student officer! Anyone can join, and there are no requirements except helping us reach our goals in any way you can! No one is ever too young to bring change, no action is too small.
