Who We Are

A tree’s strength lies in its roots. So does a community’s.

Roots & Rise Family Services Society was founded by a collective of compassionate individuals, each deeply committed to building strong, inclusive communities and supporting those in vulnerable situations. With extensive experience in the non-profit sector, our team brings empathy, integrity, and proven dedication to every aspect of our work.

Guided by a lead consultant with over 20 years of experience in job skills training, employment development, and trauma-informed care, Roots & Rise is grounded in both expertise and heart. This leadership ensures our programs are not only effective but delivered with compassion and respect for each person’s unique story.

At Roots & Rise, we believe healing happens in the context of community. We are committed to walking alongside every individual, empowering them on their journey toward stability, independence, and renewed confidence.
