The RISE Program

• RISE (Respect In Schools Everywhere) is a program designed by East Metro Youth Services to help young people reduce the level of violence in their schools and community. It provides both primary and secondary prevention effects, premised on evidence-based practices for violence prevention. RISE is intended to promote change by helping young people make use of their strengths and build further developmental assets by engaging in meaningful activities in their schools and communities. It uses the principles of youth engagement, which acknowledge that young people are a resource to their community, have a stake in its well-being, and can be part of the solution to social problems that affect them. RISE recruits students in school (both pro-social students and students "at-risk"), and provides them with training in valuable skills while helping them build connections with school staff, parents, and the community. In class workshops are conducted by RISE student leaders for Grade 9 and 10 classes in their own schools, as well as in "feeder" schools. RISE also offers workshops and training to professionals who are interested in utilizing a youth engagement model to address the issue of school-based violence.
