Rise builds student-led advocacy campaigns and programs that put higher education within reach for all. Rise trains and hires community college and university students to organize campaigns focused on eliminating tuition and fees, expanding financial aid, ending student hunger and homelessness, and getting out the vote. Rise also created the Student Navigator Network to provide case management and one-on-one assistance to students affected by COVID-19. Although Rise students work nationwide, our primary focus states in 2020 are California, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
