Welcome to Rise Higher
RISE Higher, Inc. provides a forum for school and community leaders to meet with legislative policy and health leaders to identify place-based solutions to economic and social challenges impacting rural regions.
Rise Higher partners include educators, healthcare workers, business/industry, child services, mental health, legislators, and community members committed to making rural communities thrive rather than just survive. Rise Higher doesn't just convene meetings to consider challenges - the Rise Higher Team of partners and collaborators work hand-in-hand with schools and community to elevate the trajectory of rural places and rural people.
Rise Higher partners are united by a fierce belief in the critical connection between school and community.
We focus on issues that are directly impacted by a need for equity in all aspects of community.
We have shaped the core principal at Rise Higher into an operational protocol where everyone is simultaneously a learner, a leader and a maker of solutions.
Our Partners
In the face of very real challenges we choose to work together using existing and latent assets along with our own good minds to create solutions.
