Program Overview
Ready to Rise Yakima Valley helps diverse emerging leaders thrive and grow together on the journey through college while equipping them for leadership in their community. For the 2022-23 academic year, Ready to Rise will select up to 30 high school seniors from across the Yakima Valley planning to enroll at one of two participating colleges:
- Yakima Valley College
- Central Washington University
Ready to Rise programs serve high-school seniors from low-income families, primarily students of color living in the Yakima Valley and surrounding Central Washington communities, committed to attending a higher education partner institution.
Our focus is on students who are the first in their families to attend college and who demonstrate leadership potential. We have broad definitions of leadership to capture formal and informal student leaders. People of color from low-income families are still underrepresented in higher education, and significant disparities remain in college retention rates for students from different cultural and economic backgrounds. We address these issues by educating, inspiring, and equipping a new generation of visionary, committed community leaders.
We also offer leadership training during the summer months, including many outdoor recreational opportunities.
HOW IT WORKS:
A Cohort Model for College Success and Community Leadership
Find supportive peers who have your back—whether you’re figuring out your way around campus, researching internship options, or learning to network in your hometown. Ready to Rise uses a strategy of multiple cohorts through each year of school, including the summers, to keep you growing and motivated every step of the way.
Stronger Communities with Educated, Passionate Leaders who are Ready to Rise
Bound together by shared values and training, Ready to Rise scholars learn to encourage and challenge each other while they receive ongoing support from each other, older student mentors, their colleges and Ready to Rise staff. After their time together as Community Cohorts, Campus Cohorts and Career Cohorts, alumni graduate from college connected to each other in multiple ways and ready to lead in the community. Together, they will weave a fabric of leadership that will shape the future of our cities and communities.
