​

Gun violence is a public health crisis. But violence is a symptom, not the disease.

For too long, we have watched young lives lost to cycles of trauma, poverty, and systemic neglect.

Rise Above is about breaking those cycles, using education, mentorship, and conflict resolution to heal communities from the inside out.

We believe in Imani (Faith)—faith in our youth, in our communities, and in our ability to end the violence that plagues us.
