What we do

Her Rise Above is a training program for women entrepreneurs, called Risers, who run home-based businesses. We provide training and support that help Risers build skills, confidence, and income at their own pace.

For many women, running a home-based business makes it possible to use existing skills and earn income while balancing caregiving responsibilities.

When I joined Rise & Thrive, the amazing team gave me more than business skills; they gave me hope, strength, and a community that truly cared. Today, my business is growing, my confidence has returned, and my girls see their mother standing strong — all thanks to the family we found in Rise & Thrive. The team and mentors are some of the kindest, most genuine hearts I have ever met."
