RISE TOGETHER

A nonprofit mentorship movement helping underprivileged women explore their path with support, guidance, and real world inspiration.

Mission

 

A movement to uplift underprivileged women by offering mentorship, emotional support, and the
inspiration they need to boldly chart their own path.
 
While many organizations focus on empowering youth through career and professional mentorship, our vision is to
take a more holistic approach.
It’s not only about career guidance  it’s also about providing emotional support rooted in the lived
experiences of mentors, recognizing that today’s youth face growing pressures from social media that often
undermine their confidence and self-esteem, affecting both personal and professional growth.
 
We’ve also seen how AI platforms, like CarynAI, have been successfully used to provide emotional support,
including for cancer patients during their recovery journey. CarynAI generated approximately $71,610 in its
first week from over 1,000 paying subscribers, proving the growing demand for support services that blend
empathy, human connection, and innovative tools.
 
This reinforces the need for mentorship that goes beyond career advice  combining professional guidance with
emotional encouragement, helping young people build the resilience and confidence they need to thrive in every
aspect of life.
 
 
Key Stats
  • Only 36% of low-income young women have access to mentors.
  • 59% of young people report that social media negatively impacts their self-esteem.
  • Mentored youth are 130% more likely to become leaders.
