ARYSE is a student-centered organization that supports immigrant and refugee youth in becoming engaged, confident, and celebrated members of our community. Through out-of-school-time programming combining creative expression workshops, literacy-rich activities, one-on-one academic support, career and college readiness curriculum, and storytelling for social healing, ARYSE youth gain the tools they need to take their place as leaders within their communities and our world. Most importantly, ARYSE is a movement to create an innovative, collaborative system that supports immigrant and refugee youth from the day they arrive in the U.S. and throughout the process of actualizing their dreams. Current ARYSE programs include include PRYSE Academy (summer programs), Girls Art and Maker Group, the After School Club, and Youth Steering Committee. All four ARYSE programs incorporate literacy development, mentoring, art, and storytelling, to help immigrant and refugee youth gain a true sense of support and belonging.
