THERE IS A
PLACE FOR YOU
AT RISE.

RISE is a Christian nonprofit investing in adults in Hattiesburg through faith, education, practical skills, relationships, and ongoing support.


Our participants begin with 10 weeks of RISE Thrive and continue with nine months of follow-up and mentoring.

​

You can help make that year-long investment possible.

1 in 3

Nearly 1 in 3 people in Hattiesburg live below the poverty line. But poverty is about more than money. Limited opportunity, broken relationships, gaps in education, and a lack of support can make it hard for someone to see a way forward.

1 Year

Lasting change takes time. The first 10 weeks begin the movement forward. The months that follow, with encouragement, accountability, and mentoring, help participants keep going.

VOLUNTEER

Invite people to serve where their gifts, interests, and calling meet a need at RISE.

MENTOR

Walk alongside a participant as they continue working toward their goals after Thrive.

PRAY

We believe in the powerful work of prayer for our participants, graduates, volunteers, staff, and the work God is doing through RISE.

When people serve together, hope grows.

 

Lives change.

 

Communities become stronger.

It starts here with you.
