We Rise is a youth movement. We help young people 16 - 25 years old across Essex. We aim to break down the barriers stopping young people gaining employment, training or furthering education.
We set up workshops to find out the key concerns of young people in Essex and discovered the top issues were:
- employability and skills
- mental health
- personal safety
We Rise is working on these issues and we organise events, training, workshops, mentoring and more.
Starting initially in Canvey Island we have now expanded to Basildon and will continue to expand across south Essex.
