“Strategically enhancing the capabilities of youth by providing them with the empowerment and exposure needed to navigate through the risks of life”

A growing body of research shows that students who are suspended or expelled are more likely to have academic problems, drop out of school, and enter the juvenile justice system. In 2011-12, nearly 3.5 million K-12 public school students were suspended from school at least once in the U.S., resulting in a significant loss of classroom instruction time. Suspensions and expulsions disproportionately affect students of color (particularly African American boys).....*

There is evidence to support that those who have a mentor are more likely to progress through school and attend college. Raising Youth Resilience is a leadership and mentoring youth development organization. We desire to work with at-risk youth in areas of: high suspension rate, truancy and poor academic performance. Our mission is, “strategically enhancing the capabilities of youth by providing them with the empowerment and exposure needed to navigate through the risk” Children process a great deal of resilience. As they navigate and mature, adding the component of leadership and mentoring will help to ensure the positive direction of trajectory. Our vision is “starting a new generation of youth movement through leadership and mentoring services.” Through investing time, attention and services to this area of need in return we can positively change the direction and start to improve our schools, community and city. The way Raising Youth Resilience will work is, we will create systemic approach to leadership and mentoring to further assist in the development of youth. Our idea of thought is creating sustainable cycles of peer lead cohorts, lead by their peers who are engaged with their groups through school. Geographically, we aspire to target the following areas: year 1 Stockton, CA; year 3 Hayward, CA and year 5 Richmond, CA working in West Contra Costa, Hayward and Stockton Unified School District as our pilot sites of operation. The areas listed above have some of the highest rates of poverty, violence and poor academic performance.

Today marks a defining moment for Raising Youth Resilience (RYR).
What began in 2015 as a vision to support young people navigating adversity has evolved through seasons of both growth and challenge. Like so many organizations, the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to pause, reassess, and make difficult decisions about our future.
But resilience is not just what we teach—it’s who we are.
Over the past few years, we have been intentional about rebuilding:
• Strengthening our foundation
• Refining our model
• Expanding our vision
• And preparing for greater impact
Today, we are proud to officially relaunch Raising Youth Resilience—stronger, more focused, and more aligned than ever before.
This relaunch is not happening alone.
In partnership with the Western Province of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., we are launching the Achievement Program Initiative—a transformative approach that connects:
• Daily, school-based support
• Restorative practices
• Mentorship and leadership development
• A culturally responsive resilience curriculum
Together, we are bridging the gap between what has traditionally been mentorship once a month…
and what is now possible: consistent, embedded, life-changing support for youth every day.
We have already begun this work across multiple communities—serving students in Stockton, Sacramento, Fresno, Long Beach, Seattle, and beyond.
And this is just the beginning.
This moment is both celebratory and purposeful.
It is a reflection of what happens when you refuse to quit on your mission…
when you lean into adversity…
and when you rebuild with intention.
Now, we invite you to be part of what comes next.

Today is more than a post…
It’s a reintroduction. A recommitment. A relaunch.
Raising Youth Resilience (RYR) was built to meet young people in their most critical moments—
and like many organizations, we were tested during COVID.
We paused.
We reflected.
We restructured.
We grew.
And today… we rise again. 💯
Not just as an organization—
but as a movement rooted in resilience, purpose, and impact.
Through our new partnership with the Western Province of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., we are proud to officially kick off the Achievement Program Initiative—
a powerful model that brings daily, school-based support + mentorship + leadership development directly to the youth who need it most.
This is what resilience looks like:
✨ Turning adversity into alignment
✨ Turning setbacks into strategy
✨ Turning purpose into action
From Stockton to Seattle.
From Fresno to Long Beach.
From classrooms to communities.
We are back—and we’re building something that lasts.
✊🏾This is your moment to be part of it.
