What it reported doing in 2024

During the fiscal year ending october 31, 2025, arise focused on providing life skills curriculum and staff training to organizations that work with at-risk troubled youth. Arise offered online training to staff working with these at-risk youth and they were able to provide the arise life-skills lessons to youth in their charge. Our curriculum was easily adapted and was used for groups that were working on platforms such as zoom. Based on recent trends and statistics related to children and various family structures the following is occurring: according to the u.s. Census bureau, about 23 million children live in a single-parent household. According to the annie e. Casey foundations kids count data center estimates about 5 million children in the u.s. Have experienced incarceration of a parent and 11 million children are living in families with incomes below the poverty line. The national center for juvenile justice reports that about 1 in 5 children aged 12 to 17 are regularly left unsupervised after school or during evening hours. These statistics indicate that many children are at-risk. Arise foundation's mission is to introduce valuable life skills to at-risk troubled youth, enabling them to achieve their highest potential through training and education. This mission is accomplished in two ways: the development of specialized life-skills lessons and careful training of arise-certified life-skills instructors. Since arise was established in 1986, its founders have written a complete library of life-skills lessons targeted specifically at troubled youth. Topics include anger management, conflict resolution, and finding and keeping a job, among others. Arise material is evidence based, easily understood, and interactive. It boosts academic skills as well as social skills. Because this population required gentle encouragement to express their honest feelings in arise groups, staff training was a must. Arise created a unique delivery system for teaching life skills by training staff in an intensive fourteen-hour on site and 20-hour online program on precisely how to conduct memorable, interactive, arise group life-skills lessons. Arise lessons are currently used in juvenile correctional facilities, detention centers, probation, secure juvenile facilities, alternative schools, mental health facilities, community-based organizations and schools. Arise has onsite and online life skills training. Arise foundation's goal is to expand the number of people using these effective tools worldwide.
