We Rise is proud to expand our partnership with Sagamore Pendry Baltimore in providing job opportunities for Baltimore city youth, exemplified by the success of Andre's employment with the luxury hotel.

We Rise is proud to announce that our housing and community development projects in the Broadway East neighborhood of East Baltimore are moving forward! We have acquired ten abandoned, dilapidated row houses and four vacant lots that will be demolished and rebuilt with the goal of historical preservation of the brick used in the structures where possible.

We are thrilled to introduce Daquan McKnight, a talented Senior at Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts who has expressed a keen interest in construction and architectural design.

Great news, everyone! We Rise's successful mentorship programs have gained significant demand, prompting our Board Member, Martin McCrae, to take action. Martin connected with Morgan State University to offer a new opportunity for students to participate in the We Rise program.

"My family was Mexican-Caucasian had just moved to California. During our search for a place to live, multiple landlords turned us away. When just one landlord remained, my Caucasian mother handled everything alone. When she emerged from the house, I remember hearing the landlord say, 'I am so glad you are not Mexican because I did not want to rent to any of them.'”

As you can see, we have so much going on presently, and so much more to come. We would love it if you could become part of our journey - by donating to our cause, or by following us on our social media pages, or even by telling a friend about our work. We need more people to believe in Baltimore youth and let them know that they have the power and the potential to change their lives.
