About: About Us

OUR PURPOSE:

The purpose of this collaboration is to support our children and youth by providing a safe and positive place for them to grow and discover the greatness in each of them. 


We Rise mobilizes parents, legislators, school officials, and community stakeholders in a unified effort to provide all resources and services needed to combat the school-to-prison pipeline as well as other obstacles and negative forces that would thwart our children's path to Greatness. 

​

Here at We Rise Inkster Collaborative, we see the value in everyone. We want to be a catalyst for positive change, and since our beginnings in 2000, we’ve been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Non-Profit Organization upon: support, empowerment, and progress. Learn more about our mission, our vision, and how we go about making the changes we want to see.
