"Our vision is a Northern California where every student, regardless of their zip code, has the support, advocacy, and resources necessary to achieve their full potential in an inclusive and equitable educational environment."
"Rural Inclusion, Support, and Education (R.I.S.E.) empowers students with disabilities and their families in rural communities through expert advocacy, comprehensive clinical assessments, and specialized educational services. We are dedicated to removing barriers to quality education and ensuring that every child’s civil rights are upheld and respected."
Rural families should never have to settle for "less than" because of their location. We are committed to bringing high-quality clinical and advocacy resources directly to underserved areas.
We don't just advocate; we teach. We believe that a family familiar with their rights is the most powerful force in a student's life.
We strive to build bridges, not walls. We prioritize working collaboratively with school districts and community partners to create sustainable solutions.
The specific purpose of this corporation is to provide charitable and educational services to students with disabilities and their families in rural communities.
