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

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.
