Rising forward 2025

We Will All Rise (“All Rise”) embarked on a strategic planning process in February 2021 to (i) conduct an internal assessment of programs and protocols necessary for improved efficiencies and outcomes; and (ii) establish a coordinated plan for advancing the organization over the next 4 years. The result, Rising Forward 2025: A Targeted Investment for Community Impact, is a comprehensive blueprint for sustainable action that embraces the voices of our community in the critical areas of higher education, economic empowerment, and community engagement.

rising forward 2021-2022 Update

We Will All Rise is pleased to report that we have made significant progress since we embarked on our strategic planning process in 2021. We chose to deepen our relationship with the young men we serve and elevate their brilliance. We learned in our critical partnerships with peer organizations, institutions of higher learning, and key funding partners. We established a clear focus on hiring exceptional talent and strengthening the organization’s infrastructure so that we may operate the programs of the highest quality. 

The actions we took in 2021-2022 are bearing fruit and we are excited about the future. While conditions have required that we make adjustments to our approach, we remain committed to the priorities outlined in Rising Forward 2025: A Targeted Investment for Community Impact. Please read our 2021-2022 Update and we encourage you to join our movement.
