As much as we are excited to be active in international empowerment programs, Rise Up is also very passionate about being involved in our local community. Over this past year Rise Up has had a youth internship program with teen leaders from all the local high schools. As part of the internship, students helped promote emerging local musicians & artists. On many nights the Rise Up office was transformed into a concert hall for local youth to have a positive place to dance and catch the newest talent in town.
It’s been exciting to be a part of the emerging talent of many young bands. Check out a write up from the Bend Bulletin about the Youth Movement-Rise Up-Battle of the Bands in Bend. click here.
Rise Up regularly hosts positive substance free music & art events for youth in our community at our warehouse location. If you are interested in helping out at a local event, playing at a show, or volunteering please contact jesse@riseupinternational.com
