RISE Augusta

RISE Augusta is dedicated to empowering children in poverty, particularly those facing educational challenges due to socioeconomic barriers. Serving students from diverse backgrounds, the organization recognizes the unique potential of each child and is committed to helping them rise above adversity. RISE Augusta focuses on fostering literacy and educational success, understanding that many children in poverty struggle with reading and face various socioemotional difficulties. The organization offers tailored programs that emphasize collaborative learning, community engagement, and family partnerships, ensuring that children receive the support they need in a nurturing environment. What sets RISE Augusta apart is its holistic approach to education, which includes partnerships with local organizations and access to specialized resources aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty. With a focus on creating a safe space for learning and growth, RISE Augusta champions the idea that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive academically and personally.

We are excited to report that RISE Augusta, previously known as Communities In Schools of Augusta Richmond County (CISARC) is on the ground working, growing, and helping children to succeed! Although we are proud of the excellent programs and outcomes we were able to deliver as a Communities In Schools' affiliate, becoming RISE Augusta allows our organization to do even more while focusing on our unique community needs. Our transition allows us to provide services to even more students than ever before. Celebrate with us as we Realize Individual Student Success Everyday (RISE)!
