RISE: Restoring Identity, Strength, and Empowerment: (Ages 14-17)
RISE is a program that cultivates voice, agency, and resilience among system-impacted youth through a restorative, trauma-informed, and justice-centered lens. Key goals are to strengthen identity, build conflict resolution skills, and empower youth to imagine and contribute to a more humanizing and hopeful environment, within and beyond the justice system. RISE is offered in partnership with the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice’s Regional Youth Detention Center and the Educational Transition Center.
