Rise Up Industries

Rise Up Industries helps reduce gang involvement by providing integrated gang prevention, gang intervention, and post-detention reentry programs.  Modeled after Los Angeles’ Homeboy Industries, Rise Up Industries provides high-risk, formerly gang-involved individuals with a continuum of free services and programs, including job training through its social enterprises.  Enterprises include a venture that roasts and sells fair-traded coffee, a screen printing and embroidery business, and a machine shop.
