The Challenges
The barriers to opportunity for Indianapolis students and families are great. We want to give a microphone to the students and families experiencing systemic injustice, and to align with the educators and leaders fighting to expand opportunities for students. We want to equip historically marginalized families and communities with the tools, institutional knowledge, and access to engage with policymakers and advocate for the policies that will actually address the challenges they are facing on a systems level.
What We Do
At RISE INDY we:
- Develop the education expertise and institutional knowledge of our community.
- Train our neighbors to run for office or to coordinate campaigns on the issues they're passionate about.
- Build up a network of Indianapolis residents who can share their stories, challenges, and solutions with community leaders.
Our Programs
Intentions, values, and missions are nothing without action. We want to equip historically marginalized families and communities with the tools, institutional knowledge, and access to engage with policymakers and advocate for the policies that will actually address the challenges they are facing on a systems level. The bulk of our work is in community engagement, education, and organizing. Our main program is Circle City Leaders. Our Coalition work and RISE+Shine programming is run in conjunction with RISE United.
