Photos from Our First Outreach Trip!

Big news! Our team is back from our first overseas outreach trip where we conducted a 3-day leadership series targeting local youth. The sessions brought a total of over 80 young people from the ages of 13 to 25.  Each session revolved around educational awareness, engagement in peer dialogue and community building exercises. We would like to thank the Essequibo School of Business for allowing us to use their premises. We couldn't have done it without you!

Young leaders were given the chance to instantly connect with overseas Guyana RISE members via our Facebook group and blog. Offering a virtual global platform is a vital aspect of our organization's strategy for success (see 'Our Mission' for more)
