The Start of Uprise
Families
Though Uprise is a young adult movement, parents, as our first teachers, model generosity for their children, and they, as well as grandparents and siblings, play an important role. By encouraging and supporting the movement, parents and family members help strengthen and grow family relationships and community faith, while empowering young adults to actively participate, deepen their faith, and help make the world a better place.
Schools
When classmates, teachers, and principals take part in the movement, a community of caring forms, a sense of togetherness grows, and a local Uprise of support and service occurs! Creating awareness of the program and inspiring young adults to form Uprise clubs unifies the school’s community and lifts up participants and supporters, encouraging them to share their generosity together locally, and beyond.
Parishes
With the blessing of the universal church community, Uprise is supported and strengthened in youth ministry and social justice activities. Local Catholic Churches reinforce the goals of Uprise and widen the circle of people working to bring the generosity through service vision to life, helping to reach the goal of a better, loving world for all.
