About Us

RISE is a tutoring and mentoring organization that works with immigrants and refugees in New Haven to overcome language and cultural barriers they may face. Our team of tutors works through weekly in-school and in-home sessions in a variety of public schools and family homes. Our tutors work with a curriculum designed by our team, and we provide resources necessary for our ESL based programming. In addition to these weekly sessions, we organize monthly community events to allow for cultural exchanges to benefit the greater New Haven community, the immigrant and refugee populations, and the Yale community.
