RISE Frederick: Rotarian Initiative for Successful Employment

RISE Frederick: Rotarian Initiative for Successful Employment RISE provides resources, training, and mentoring to public housing residents, helping them set the stage for sustainable employment and independence. Thanks!

Since 2013, the RISE Program (championed by the Rotary Club of Carroll Creek) has provided all of its participants with opportunities for skill-building experiences, one-on-one mentoring support, and professional internships. The unique synergy of these components has allowed individuals to craft a more solid foundation upon which to earn stable employment that creates a more sustainable lifestyle

moving forward. RISE Cycles I-III

~Over 85% of mentees are currently employed.
~As a direct result of their involvement in the RISE program, well over a dozen participants have substantially furthered their education by earning degrees and/or earning professional certificates and credentials that have enhanced their employability in their chosen fields.
~20% of RISE alumni have successfully moved out of public housing.
~Several mentees are currently engaged in volunteer work in their community, paying it forward. RISE Cycle IV is slated to begin in late Summer 2015, with 10-12 mentees expected to be enrolled. If you would like to apply to be a part of the upcoming RISE cycle, please review the information on the application page, and then contact us at [email protected], or call (301) 696-1875 and ask for Ann Ryan.
