Root 2 Rise Thrive
Career and educational support after graduation.
Root 2 Rise helped Cquemiah Clark-Richmond discover a career. Thrive now helps her attend college.
In their own words…
Root 2 Rise utilizes practices recommended by the National Gang Center to discourage youth gang involvement.
“I’ve struggled with addiction and made some poor choices in the past. Fortunately, I found help and advice from Root 2 Rise Thrive and elsewhere when I needed it.”
Luis Rodriguez
“Root 2 Rise held me to a high standard. Many of my friends just went with the crowd, and many of them are now dead, in jail, or homeless.”
