Project Still I Rise is a community-based 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2002 to provide high quality, high impact programming to youth of Southern Dallas attending public schools. Many of the children served by the agency have had a history of problems in school such as academic failure, disruptive behavior, strained relations with peers, difficulty in dealing with adult authority figures, and
poor attendance. Without early intervention and support, these children are at high risk of school dropout, juvenile delinquency, and criminal behavior. Using science-based curriculums, collaborative relationships and partners in the community, Project Still I Rise has been able to provide significant programs that make a difference in the lives of young people. Project Still I Rise embraces the core values of:
•Collaboration - we will work together with the community at large, forming partnerships that support our mission.
•Compassion - we will provide service in a spirit of empathy, love, and concern.
•Servant leadership - we will create a service led environment.
•Stewardship – we will manage resources effectively and responsibly.
