Our Mission

Our mission is to reach multicultural youth populations in currently underserved communities to foster good citizenship, enhance physical fitness, develop youth character values, teach responsibility and embrace humanity.

About Us

Rising Families is a 501C3 nonprofit organization. We recognize that active, engaged and well-connected communities tend to have less crime and feel safer than those communities without engagement. We currently operate sports programs for youths ages 4-14 at Edison and Green Valley parks in Phoenix, Arizona. By activating community parks, providing safe gathering spaces, and creating opportunities for youth and families to get involved, Rising Families contributes to public safety.  

In addition to providing youth sports programs, Rising Families engages youth and their families in local service projects and fosters meaningful relationships with other nonprofits and business partners. These partnerships enable us to offer our already low-cost sports program for free to participants residing in neighboring public and affordable housing and those experiencing financial hardships. In the past year, we have been able to provide uniforms at no cost as well as snacks during our practice and game meets to all participants because of the continued relationships with partners in our communities. Rising Families believes in the importance of collaborative relationships and recognizes the impact that can be made when working across sectors to achieve a shared mission of giving back to communities in need.

We are a Family that is filled with a wonderful mix of ages, cultures

We are simple people giving and walking by faith to see God's power extended to all those we can reach and touch with his love.

We look forward to meeting you!
