Teens Rise Foundation

The Teens Rise Foundation is a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering at-risk and lower-income communities by providing academic services and college readiness support. It operates with a mission to address disparities in educational and life opportunities for youth across different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Programs

The Teens Rise Foundation offers a comprehensive program named Serves, Scholars, y Salud, which focuses on three main areas:

• Serves (Athletic Opportunities): This component includes entry-level tennis programs that are integrated into physical education classes and after-school activities. These programs aim to build personal integrity, develop leadership skills, and foster a competitive spirit in a supportive environment. The goal is to provide students with confidence and self-esteem that can help them confront negative influences in their communities.

• Scholars (College & Career Readiness): The Scholars program delivers academic enrichment services, concentrating on building foundational English and math skills. It includes initiatives such as college campus tours, university symposiums, youth leadership summits, STEM field trips, family engagement workshops, college application boot camps, and more. These activities are designed to increase students' chances of success in college and beyond.

• Salud (Mental Health & Wellness): In partnership with community experts, this program provides curriculum and workshops aimed at building character and resilience in youth. Students participate in mindfulness workshops and youth yoga programs to develop strategies for maintaining emotional health and well-being.
