About RISE

RISE Collective is a youth-led collective that centres and amplifies the voices of young women, non-binary, and gender fluid youth in Hamilton.

What does it mean to RISE?

The RISE Collective consists of events, workshops, art and movement that is informed and led by youth which focus on four key themes:

• Reflect – Rest – Recharge
• Influence – Integrate – Imagine
• Sustain – Support – Strategize
• Engage – Empower – Educate.

The purpose of the program is to create holistic and intentional programming for all youth that empowers and engages.
