About Us


The Recovery Initiatives through Support & Empowerment (RISE) Recovery Coalition was formed in 2024 with the mission to support individuals in recovery through prosocial events and community support services. Coalition members include individuals in recovery, representatives from behavioral health organizations, government organizations, the legal system, community-based organizations, and those passionate about supporting individuals in recovery. We welcome individuals or organizations that would like to join us. If you'd like to review the bylaws, you can check them out here!

We'd love for you to join us for our May Pro-Social event - the Glow for Hope 5k Run/Walk on May 10th. Registration is free, but the first 50 individuals will get a free t-shirt, so register now!


We're also looking for our first staff-person! Interested? Learn more and apply today!
