Become a regional leader
Help RISE build strong relationships with schools in your area. Regional leaders keep contacts warm, remind schools when applications open, and help students discover the program.
Who makes a good regional leader
School connectors
People who already know counselors, teachers, principals, or student leaders and can keep those relationships active.
Reliable communicators
People who can follow up monthly, share application windows clearly, and make sure schools have the right information.
Student opportunity advocates
People who care about helping more students hear about RISE and take the first step into the program.
