What does being a host mean?
Hosts secure a location and help spread the word about the program to participants, parents and youth instructors! Rising Up Together staff provide training, conduct background checks, and offer support throughout the program.​
Why should I choose to host this program?
Hosting the Resilient Youth Program offers a unique chance to significantly impact your community. By providing this valuable resource, you directly contribute to the well-being of local children and youth. You're not just offering a program; you're creating an environment where young people can find connection, discover their purpose, and develop crucial resilience that will benefit them for years to come. Beyond the community impact, hosting also provides a profound sense of satisfaction and fulfillment knowing you have directly empowered the children and youth in your community. Witnessing their growth and positive transformation while participating in this program is a powerful motivator, giving you a sense of satisfaction through service.
Why is building resilience important?
Resilience is the ability for children and youth to withstand and overcome difficulties. They develop an inner strength to learn from mistakes, not give up, feel good about themselves, ask for help, and gain confidence. Studies indicate resilience is a protective factor that can enhance the mental health and well being of children and youth.
Excited to make a difference but unsure if it is the right fit for you?
