Projects

We are projecting more than just "help the youth." We are like minded young people making sincere efforts to distance ourselves from the urban blight and the everyday dramas and traumas in our communities. We are trying to distance ourselves from situations that are ready to rob us of the true opportunity to develop our natural potential.

RISE BUSINESS ACADEMY - ACTIVE
Trainings are run every week by vibrant, competent facilitators from Phillips Consulting, Nigeria's leading firm of Business Management Consultants whose main trust is Organizational Development and Performance Improvement within offices in Lagos, South Africa, London and Kenya. External facilitators that will comprise of young intellectuals from frontline Corporate Organizations in Nigeria's private sector will also be on board to run sessions. Just 15 students are admitted weekly because we opine that there is need for direct counsel, in specifics.

RISE MAGAZINE - ACTIVE
The publishing of rise as not just a magazine but as a reference material is as a result of the absence of any tangible periodical publication whose main objective is to discover, empower and build a capable successor generation. There is also no provision for any magazine in nigeria that creates an avenue for young people to assert their individualities.

RISE also aims at making use of the life stories of successful members of the society to inspire, motivate and educate young people to emulate their values and choose role models and mentors from amongst them. These individuals cut across all ramifications of human society, religious sects, tribes and geographical locations.
