Restorative, Inclusive School Environments - RISE Initiative 

Imagine, what would education look like if it was grounded in Gracious Space?

“When schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more.”1
Purpose Statement
 
Our hope is for young people and those involved to experience values-based leadership that promotes the common good through leadership development, team building, and community project work. The cultivation of a restorative, inclusive school environment requires a dynamic, growing network that constantly learns and adapts to opportunities. The RISE initiative is a program of the Center for Ethical Leadership and a dedicated group of partners who believe in our young people and provide the tools for them to thrive.
 
Since 1990, the Center for Ethical Leadership has been known for our unique approach in asset-based community building and community-based collective leadership development. We are excited to bring together all stakeholders to reimagine school-community relationships and co-design to create a model that can be replicated nationwide to ensure EVERY scholar is put on a path toward lifelong success.
 
Program Description

The Restorative, Inclusive School Environments (RISE) Initiative seeks to build youth-adult partnerships and community-based collective leadership to create and foster the necessary conditions for all students to succeed. RISE infuses YLOP's curriculum, restorative practices, and strengthened stakeholder relationships (students, families, teachers/administrators, community) together to co-create what an inclusive school environment looks like.
