When's the last time you had a real, honest conversation about money?

Between rising costs and shrinking savings, most of us think about money constantly — just never in a good way. RISE is here to change that.

RISE is a free, 17-week program built to help you take control of your financial story — real budgeting skills, financial independence, healthy boundaries, and a clearer picture of what a thriving future looks like for you, not what anyone else expects.

Participants have increased their monthly income by up to $1,200 and raised their credit scores by 100+ points.

You have what it takes to break cycles, build confidence, and rise into the life you were meant to live.

Free childcare available. Next class begins August 18, 2026.
