MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Time to Rise is a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the life chances of at-risk youth. Based in Nashville, the organization operates an academic program that serves youth in grades 4th through 6th. The program stresses the importance of educational excellence and character development as a means to help underprivileged youth avoid the risk factors that limit growth and opportunity.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Winter Tutorials Once school starts, Time to Rise provides academic support to all students who attended the summer program. After identifying students most in need of support, Time to Rise staff will have weekly dialogues with parents and teachers, monitor individual academic performance and monitor school attendance. In addition, students will benefit from one-on-one interactions with high school and college age students at Time To Rise host sites twice weekly. Case Management Since the spring of 2004, Time to Rise has tracked students participating in the Time to Rise program. The Case Manager works with school guidance counselors to stay informed of relevant issues affecting students and also makes routine visits to homes to communicate with parents. Through this process, the Case Manager develops intervention strategies for each student. In 2005/06 we plan to offer educational lectures for parents on relevant subjects including recognizing depression in youth, how to structure the home environment for academic success and test taking strategies. One of the immediate benefits of case management was the tracking of former Time to Rise students who matriculated to college in the fall of 2005. Of the 30 students served as 5th and 6th graders in 1999, 15 are currently enrolled in four year colleges. Several have garnered academic distinction including one as the 2005 Valedictorian of Maplewood High School. Time to Rise Camp Each summer since 1992, rising 4th – 6th grade at-risk students participated in a summer enrichment camp with the goal of improving academic performance and developing character. The camp is held for 4 weeks during the summer at local private school campuses. Students learn test taking strategies and receive instruction in 4 academic areas: math, science, English, and reading. Students are pre-tested and post-tested to track progress. Students also enjoy classes in swimming, drama, basketball and dance. In 2019, approximately 150 students participated in the summer program.
