The RISE Fundraising Store is open, and every dollar goes back into our programs.

Wear them however you like, and when someone asks about the logo, you have a way to talk about the work.

100% of proceeds fund habilitative programming, employment readiness, and reentry support across Nebraska.

Your perspective is a powerful tool for reentry.

During our Coaching Day, volunteers spend 3-5 hours inside the facility working one-on-one with program participants. From refining a business idea to nailing a mock interview, your feedback provides the practical skills needed for a successful transition home.

Deadline to apply for NDCS approval: June 27th, 2026.

RISE was invited to the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services Community Partner Appreciation event last week, joining other organizations recognized for their work alongside NDCS.

We're proud to share that Dr. Tommy Moore was named NDCS Educational Partner of the Year. The award was determined by votes from both NDCS staff and incarcerated individuals — a rare form of recognition that reflects how Tommy is regarded across the full community he serves.

Congratulations, Tommy. We're lucky to have you on the team.
