Rise First
Our mission is to empower first-generation low-income (FGLI) students and professionals nationwide to achieve their full potential by providing life and career advice, lists of support resources and mentorship opportunities through a technology platform with online tools. This platform will be built for and by FGLI students, serving as a real-life business and professional experience. As we build this online platform, we envision a future where no FGLI student has to navigate their path alone. We hope to be the first place they look when they need help in navigating the unfamiliar, don't know the right questions to ask, or want to connect to someone who's been through the same challenges they are encountering. Together as a community, we aim to support and empower this segment of our future leaders.
