A job isn’t just a paycheck, it’s proof of belonging.

It’s stability, dignity and the chance to rebuild.

But for too many, the door to opportunity stays closed - blocked by bias, broken systems, or silence.

That’s where Rise steps in.

We hold the door open.

How It Works

Step 1: Connecting with Nonprofit Partners

We start with trust. Our nonprofit partners walk alongside people ready for a new start - from recovery to reentry to resilience.
They see potential. We help unlock it.
Step 2: Preparing Candidates For Success

We don’t just polish resumes - we prepare people. Every candidate takes part in this journey - training, confidence building, and real world coaching.
The result? Hope that’s work-ready.
Step 3: Matching Candidates with Employers

We bridge the gap between potential and opportunity.
From interview to onboarding, we walk with both candidate and company - ensuring not just a placement but a partnership.
Step 4: Ongoing Support For Long-Term Success

Getting the job isn’t the finish line — it’s the starting point. With ongoing mentorship, retention coaching, and encouragement, we stay in it for the long game - because thriving matters more than landing.

Not everyone begins at the same starting line.

But with the right partners, they can move forward.

We partner with nonprofits, employers and community leaders to clear the path - for veterans finding purpose again, survivors reclaiming their future, and individuals rebuilding what was lost.

Hope becomes motion.

Work becomes healing.

Together, we rise.

Because when good people connect with good work,

we all rise.

Change doesn’t happen alone.

Rise brings nonprofits, employers and job seekers together to build pathways that last

- not quick fixes, but sustainable change.
