Project details
What we need
- Infographics that showcase the data and findings from an innovative assessment that inquires about young people's experiences of trauma, violence, coping, and healing (called the Listening Campaign).
- Listening Campaign infographic and visual aids that we can create and tailor for specific stakeholders (funders, services providers, public systems, sector-specific, community residentes, and youth).
- Linking Listening Campaign data to recommendations for policies, practices, and investments for young people that are trauma-informed, healing-centered, and justice-oriented.
What we have in place
- We currently have a number of Listening Campaign data sets, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a lot of Campaign content and presentation materials, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,212 , allowing us to provide healthy food options for 1700 RYSE youth members.
RYSE is built on and engages in praxis - linking theory/frameworks to practice. We need to be able to share our successes, learnings, and impact in more succinct and visually compelling ways. We are a field-informing and field-building organization that has created a model of youth development and health equity promotion that we believe is replicable and necessary across multiple disciplines and practices. We need support in sharing and showing the findings of the Listening Campaign, the knowledge we are producing through praxis, and the impact of RYSE on the lives and livelhoods of young people.

Our mission
RYSE creates safe spaces grounded in social justice that build youth power for young people to love, learn, educate, heal and transform lives and communities
What we do
RYSE was born out of a youth organizing movement initiated in 2000 in response to a string of homicides amongst youth near Richmond High School that galvanized students to take action to address the violence and lack of safety at school and in the community. Students organized vigils and community forums with over 1,500 youth and community members, met and worked with local officials and stakeholders on a comprehensive assessment of youth-identified priorities and solutions, culminating in the RYSE Youth Center (RYSE), which opened its doors on October 18, 2008.
RYSE's primary strategies to influence change include: (1) create programs grounded in racial justice and oriented towards systems change and system transformation, (2) involve young people in all levels of organizational design, program implementation and evaluation, (3) develop integrative strengths programming that allows for multiple points of entry and engagement while still feeling like "one program" both on and offsite, (4) incorporate popular education in all aspects of RYSE programming, (5) utilize media, arts and culture in all aspects of programming, (6) build youth capacity to outreach, engage, advocate for and develop program design based on harm-reduction, restorative justice, and trauma-informed best practices, and (7) utilize cross-sector, cross-community collaboration.
Now five years old, RYSE is serving just over 1,750 members, ages 13-21. RYSE offers programs in media, art and culture; leadership and organizing; education and career; community health and wellness; and youth justice and supports for system involved youth and we strive to ensure that young people continue to be the drivers of program design and implementation.
