How to Form Your Own RISE Group

Repeatable

The strength and beauty of this program is that it’s a model that could be replicated anywhere. There are few places in our country that don’t have greatly concerned citizens and individuals that feel desperately alone in this process of ‘pushing back.’ People are simply looking for a vehicle that will allow them to effectively express themselves over an extended period

Contact us and let us know of your plans. Identify a leader and record keeping person in your local area. Make sure you have a communication channel that can work
effectively for your RISE group. Identify a meeting place. See if someone can arrange Zoom meetings (if needed) for your group

Although 12-15 people would be a good number for your group, start with 2-3, 3-4 and intentionally grow. Once others get a sense of your structure and the focus on both the collective as well as the personal well being, more will be interested in joining. If possible, try to develop a diverse group related to age, ethnicity , gender and race. Direct them to the website, encourage them to join you for an organizing meeting.

Part of the attraction of RISE is that you and members can give it as much or as little time as you desire each month. It is  designed be meaningful to participants and collaborative with other organizations.
