WHY RISE?

I joined RISE Montreal because their mission resonated deeply with me. As an advocate for civic engagement and social change, RISE Montreal's commitment to empowering young people and amplifying their voices spoke directly to my aspirations. I was drawn to their innovative approach in using creativity and culture as tools for positive impact. I'm looking forward to collaborating and contributing to build a more inclusive and vibrant community, and hopefully inspiring others to actively participate in shaping the future of Montreal.

WHY RISE?

By participating in the program, I want to be more bound to local community. I want to know our city’s community and environment specifically. Also, as an international student, I want to present different culture’s way of thinking. In our hub, we can mix our all of thoughts and then we will present unique results.

WHY RISE?

I found myself at a point where I was just tired of how cyclical my life was becoming. I felt disengaged and uninterested about most things. So, when I was provided with the opportunity to join RISE I saw it as a way of rediscovering a purpose. The opportunity to meet new people, work on a fulfilling project, and learn new skills was one I just couldn't turn down.

WHY RISE?

I joined RISE because I get to work with like-minded peers to make a positive impact in society, and I'll learn new skills that will be valuable both in my personal and professional life. It's also a great opportunity for youth to understand their communities further and to gain first-hand experience on the steps involved in making a change for the better. Super excited to work with my cohort and build a project from scratch!
