About
INCORPORATED IN 1971, RISE SUPPORTS PEOPLE WHO HAVE DISABILITIES AND OTHER BARRIERS. WE OFFER THE PEOPLE WE SERVE THE GREATEST POSSIBLE LEVEL OF COMMUNITY INTEGRATION AND A WIDE RANGE OF PROGRAMMING CHOICES SO THAT THEY MAY MEET THEIR GOALS. MISSION: RISE UNLOCKS POTENTIAL AND OPENS DOORS TO SUCCESS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OR OTHER CHALLENGES THROUGH CREATIVE SOLUTIONS AND CUSTOMIZED SUPPORT. VISION: WE ENVISION A PROGRESSIVE, SUPPORTIVE AND COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT FOSTERS MEANINGFUL GROWTH AND PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES TO LIVE A LIFE FILLED WITH PURPOSE. WHEN RISE WAS FOUNDED, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES HAD FEW CHOICES: STAY HOME ALL DAY, MOVE TO AN INSTITUTION, OR ATTEND ONE OF THE FEW WORKSHOPS PROVIDING PRODUCTION-LIKE JOBS. THE GOAL OF THE RISE FOUNDERS WAS TO GIVE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES A GREATER RANGE OF CHOICES THROUGH TAILORED VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION SERVICES IN ANOKA COUNTY-BOTH CENTER-BASED SERVICES FOR THOSE WHO WANTED OR NEEDED A MORE STRUCTURED AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT, AND JOB TRAINING AND PLACEMENT FOR THOSE WHO WANTED TO WORK IN COMMUNITY SETTINGS. THE VOCATIONAL SKILL TRAINING AND PLACEMENT PROGRAMS ESTABLISHED IN RISE'S EARLIEST YEARS WERE AMONG THE FIRST COMMUNITY-BASED EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. TODAY, RISE OPERATES MORE THAN 28 SITES ACROSS MINNESOTA AND WESTERN WISCONSIN, SUPPORTING NEARLY 3,400 PEOPLE ANNUALLY IN EMPLOYMENT, HOUSING, AND LIFE ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMING. ACROSS THESE PROGRAMS, RISE PROVIDES SUPPORTS FOR MANY DIFFERENT GROUPS: PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (48%); PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS (33%); PEOPLE WHO ARE DEAF, DEAFBLIND, OR HARD OF HEARING (7%), PEOPLE WITH BRAIN INJURIES (4%); AND OTHER GROUPS (8%), WHICH INCLUDE REFUGEE POPULATIONS AND PEOPLE REENTERING SOCIETY AFTER BEING INCARCERATED, AMONG OTHERS. ABOUT 45% OF PEOPLE THAT RISE SUPPORTS ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR. MORE THAN 25% OF PEOPLE SUPPORTED ARE YOUNG ADULTS (18-29 YEARS OLD). IN ADDITION TO AN EXPANDING SERVICE POPULATION, RISE PROGRAMS ARE SHIFTING AND DEVELOPING IN RESPONSE TO A NUMBER OF FACTORS. INDEED, RECENT YEARS HAVE BROUGHT UNPRECEDENTED CHANGE IN TERMS OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BREAKTHROUGHS AND PUBLIC POLICIES RELATED TO SUPPORTS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. NEVERTHELESS, THE PIONEERING APPROACH WITH WHICH RISE WAS FOUNDED CONTINUES TO CHARACTERIZE THE AGENCY TO THIS DAY, SPURRING US TO ENSURE THE GREATEST POSSIBLE LEVEL OF PERSONAL SATISFACTION AND CHOICE FOR EVERYONE. THE ARRAY OF PROGRAMS RISE PROVIDES IS DESIGNED TO HELP EVERYONE OVERCOME THE UNIQUE SET OF OBSTACLES THEY FACE, ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS, AND REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.WHILE DELIVERING CUTTING-EDGE SERVICES, RISE ENSURES THAT PROGRAMS ARE SUCCESSFUL AND MEET THE NEEDS, INTERESTS AND DESIRES OF INDIVIDUALS. IN 2018, RISE PLACED 689 PEOPLE INTO NEW JOBS IN THE OPEN LABOR MARKET AND SUPPORTED HUNDREDS MORE WITH THEIR EXISTING EMPLOYMENT. OVER 96% OF PEOPLE ARE SATISFIED WITH THEIR SERVICES FROM RISE. A PERSON RECEIVING SERVICES SAID THIS ABOUT RISE: "RISE HAS HELPED ME VIEW MY CAPABILITIES MORE POSITIVELYWITHOUT THE HELP AND SUPPORT FROM RISE I WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT I COULD BE SUCCESSFUL WORKING WITH MY HEALTH ISSUES. THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM AND IS A CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY AS A WHOLE, HELPING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES BECOME SUCCESSFULLY EMPLOYED."
