    Please complete the form below to apply to be staff or a mentor during the Roots to Rise Cultural Enrichment Camp July 15-19.

Roots to Rise is a youth program to empower holistic health and wellness and promote a positive future construct. It is led by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) adults and peer mentors. Camp has been developed with traditional Indigenous ways at the center. Roots to Rise is a multi-dimensional program using cultural arts, language, food, and environmental land connection studies to reach, ignite, uplift, and empower Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
