Community Spotlight: Ryse Center

RYSE, our MBK Seed Community Partner based in Richmond, California, opened their doors in 2008 after eight years of youth-led organizing and planning. Their team works to create and sustain movements toward strong, healthy, united communities where equity is the norm and violence is neither desired nor required.
