RISE INDY

At RISE INDY, we believe all children deserve an equitable education that prepares them for graduation and beyond. We envision a world in which every child reaches their highest potential. 

We want to give voice to the students and parents experiencing injustice in our system, and to align with teachers and leaders fighting to improve outcomes for children. By involving parents, teachers, students, faith leaders, and many more in conversations about education in our community, we can amplify the voices of those who might otherwise be unheard. 

Our mission is to improve student outcomes through community engagement, advocacy, and organizing. 

We believe improving schools improves the community. To realize our vision, we engage those most impacted by systemic neglect, educate policymakers on the opportunity gaps for students, and organize our community to advocate for the resources and policies that will improve public education in Indianapolis. 

Change should be locally led, and we must amplify all voices in our community.
