“Being part of RISE Colorado has really helped me see what I would like to do in the future and gave me ideas of what I might want to do for a career or a small business. As a senior and now starting to apply for colleges, RISE gave me the opportunity to go on campus visits to schools like the University of denver which I will be applying to.” - Daniela Zamora
