Rise Up For Youth & Heroes Academy

|
In the Fall of 2021, Rise Up For Youth and Heroes Academy announced a partnership to serve Wichita students with mentorship. Both organizations recognized the impact they could have while working together to create a pathway for students to exit Heroes Academy and enter high school with Rise Up for Youth as a support system. This would give students a dependable adult relationship and allow them opportunities to explore their future from 3rd through 12th grade.
