How to Get Involved
Get Involved by Participating in a Workshop
Apply to participate in our workshops as a student or facilitator (if Covid-19 regulations allow travel). We are actively seeking students and working professionals in the construction, architecture, and design and build areas. We guarantee everyone will leave our workshops transformed and with new skills and awareness!
Use Our Matchmaking Platform for Your Next Event
rise’s co-founder, BOND Events, specializes in organizing global B2B matchmaking events for the architecture and design industry. BOND’s matchmaking platform produces pre-scheduled meetings for all attendees and significantly reduces scheduling time and errors. BOND has given rise proprietary rights to the software to offer it to conferences and event planners in the social enterprise sector.
Fundraise for or Donate to rise
rise is 100% self-funding which means every dollar you contribute or donate goes directly to our social enterprise and entrepreneurship development program. There are many different ways to contribute, and every level of donation is greatly appreciated.
Volunteer
Mentorship is critical to rise’s success, and volunteering your time is a meaningful way to get involved and make a difference. Sharing your experiences in business development, social entrepreneurship, architecture, construction or design provides invaluable learning experiences for our participants.
