Program

Rise Up Academy

Rise Up Academy is an 11-bed home for boys and girls ages 16-20 providing emergency shelter and/or temporary housing with comprehensive youth development activities and supportive housing services. These youth are high-functioning and most have resided at CCYA long-term. This 11 bed program provides the youth the opportunity to work off campus and participate in Graduated Independence Plans (GIP) for independence skill building. This gives the older youth additional freedoms as well as more specific programming to address their unique needs as they approach young adulthood. Residents in Rise Up Academy receive an array of services including, but not limited to, weekly on-site individual therapy, support groups, tutoring and Life Skills workshops. The kids can join campus clubs, take cooking classes and participate in a host of community programs such as Orange Duffel Bag.
