Who We Are

RiseUp Partnership creates opportunities so that every young person in Goodhue County, Minnesota, can thrive.

Founded in 1992 as Red Wing Youth Outreach, we serve youth through critical programming and bringing partners together to amplify the power of our community and create a safe, vibrant Goodhue County for all.

How We Work

We believe strong communities are the foundation for strong children and families – and that all young people deserve the opportunity to flourish. We uplift youth through mentoring, independent living skills training, and student-led advisory groups. We engage with families to ensure they are engaged as true collaborators. We bring together committed partners to foster a stronger Goodhue County — working with government agencies, schools, businesses, individual community members, and parents and youth to identify challenges facing our youth and devise solutions collectively.
