Friendly House’s mission is “To empower Arizona communities through education and human services.” One of their excellent programs is the RISE UP program. It is focused on providing opportunities for young adults, 18-24, who have had contact or are currently involved with the criminal justice system. Individuals involved in the program will be provided with financial literacy, restoration of rights, soft skill, social skill workshops and other necessary guidance. All participants will also have the option of participating in transitional employment in which they will be working with partner employers to learn about possible career opportunities. During this transition period participants will be prepared to enter the workforce or obtain training to become better employment candidates. In the future they would like to collaborate with South Mountain WORKS Coalition’s youth and community to provide more connections to the workforce. They aim to support South Mountain WORKS in their various coalition and subcommittee activities and invite everyone to attend their monthly health resource fairs for the community.
