The RISE Center for Liberation
The RISE Center partners with public preschools and childcare centers to build their capacity to create anti-racist and liberated learning environments for children and their families. We accomplish this goal by sharing our whole school approach to building an anti-racist organization through coaching, delivering a teacher learning series that equips teachers with the knowledge and skills needed to create racially affirming and culturally responsive classrooms, and providing access to our anti-racist classroom curriculum.
