Harnessing community spirit
We often talk about the Raise Village and how important it really is. That’s because connection, and coming together for a greater purpose, is the key to addressing many of society’s problems. We are seeing this community spirit in action through our partnership with Telethon 7.

Multi-level partnerships with purpose and impact
Raise relies on an extended community of kind hearted, generous individuals and partners to help change young lives by providing a mentor for every young person who needs one. Partners like Kain Foundation go above and beyond in support of this mission, providing funding and hands-on support, in the process, becoming an essential part of the Raise Village.

Loneliness and young people
The current generation of teens are on track to become the loneliest generation in human history. Research shows that connection offers the solution to the loneliness epidemic, and mentoring can be the key that unlocks that connection.
