The vision of Arise International is a future where every student—regardless of background—graduates high school with the confidence, leadership skills, and vision to thrive in life and positively impact their community.
Mission Statement "To provide in-school coaching that equips students with the confidence, life skills, and personal vision needed to stay engaged in school, navigate challenges, and successfully transition from middle school to high school."
You are a leader.
Someone is admiring who you are and the way you do things. We all need people that we can look up to, right? As a leader, you will be a wonderful communicator. You will also help others work through conflict and learn how to get along well with each other. That is so important and needed in our world.
Principal Maite Porter (CE Williams Middle School North):
"ARISE is invaluable for our students—helping them set goals, build confidence, and learn respect for themselves and others. Each session is engaging and transformative." ARISE is an amazing program for our school. The pace, program layout and lessons are valuable tools for our age group. The students get the opportunity to learn about short and long term goals. They explore and reflect on character building hands-on activities. Each session builds off the other while highlighting personal growth, personal value and respect for self and others. I believe the ARISE program gives our students a chance to self-reflect and self-examine themselves and their lives. The program showed our students that they are important, powerful, and needed in this world. The program showed them a glimpse of their greatness and their possible destinies. The program encouraged each student to ask themselves: 1. What is significant in my life? 2. What immediate, creative actions do I need to take to make that happen? 3. How can I make every day count as I move towards my desired goal? 4. What impact will I have on the world around me as I accomplish this goal? Their responses helped them be more intentional about their life choices and helped them discover the value they have placed on their desires. Their choices revealed their priorities. The results manifest their significance in their life and their world. Ultimately, the program helps our students realize that their opportunities and possibilities are limitless.
