About Rise
Connecting talented young people and supporting them for life as they build a better world
COVID-19. Climate change. Racial justice. Gender equality. The future of work.
The world’s most important problems will be solved by tomorrow’s leaders.
Yet too often, the most talented people never realize their full potential for global impact.
Rise is on a mission to change that.
