Our mission at Rise Up Industries highlights three prongs to minimizing gang involvement: gang intervention, prevention and post-detention reentry. This integrated approach reflects our desire to serve individuals while also addressing systemic issues that disproportionately affect at-risk youth. We began this three-pronged approach with the Reentry Program.
Our 18-month Reentry Program is in its fifth year of operation and provides a comprehensive set of services to formerly incarcerated, formerly gang involved individuals. These services include employment, job-training, case management, tattoo removal, counseling, mentoring, education assistance, financial literacy, life skills, and work ethic development. RUI pays full-time wages to Reentry Program members as they work their way through the program.
