Charleston RISE empowers public education advocates by connecting them to each other and then preparing them to improve our schools…together.

Charleston RISE is a grassroots movement with one goal: to empower local parents to demand an excellent education for all Charleston students. Charleston RISE accomplishes this by mobilizing Charleston County advocates (parents, grandparents and others dedicated to improving public education) who have a clear passion for improving our education system, and then prepares them for community advocacy through a two-part program that is designed to give them the necessary tools, information and network to work for true, system-wide change for kids.
