Rise Together Nonprofit Programs
Rise Together
Rise Together is a nonprofit, outcome-driven team mentoring program that connects University of Virginia (UVA) students with first-generation and low-income K-12 youth in the Commonwealth. Rise Together mentoring teams provide weekly targeted academic support, social-emotional learning, workforce and college readiness, and service learning opportunities designed to lessen barriers to postsecondary attainment, support teachers, and build novel collaborative relationships between UVA and the community.
College Guidance
The Rise Together College Guidance Program is a two-pronged approach designed to guide 9-12th grade students from high school to college. The first component is an intensive individual college guidance program focusing on course selection, standardized test preparation, college search, and application support. The second component is engaging Rise Together Group Seminars and service learning projects, which allow students to work collaboratively to develop a growth mindset, personal determination, and academic/personal confidence.
