Our Partners


Creating lasting change takes a collective effort and for over a decade, RISE TOGETHER has proudly partnered with hundreds of school districts, health departments, recovery and community organizations, police and sheriff’s departments, hospital associations, foundations, corporations, and more.

Our impact has been entirely fueled by these incredible partnerships — without federal funding proving the power of grassroots collaboration and community-driven investment in youth voice, mental health, and prevention.

We couldn’t even begin to list every organization that’s helped make this work possible — but we’re deeply grateful to each and every one.
