Empowering West Virginians to RISE Above Challenges
“No one should walk alone. At RISE, we believe family matters. We welcome the forgotten, restore the broken, and stand beside each person that walks through our doors. We strive to Restore, Integrate, Support and Empower West Virginians. When others see a past, we see potential and we will RISE together!”
-Clayburne Stevens, Founder
RISE-WV exists to connect the services that already strengthen our communities while identifying and filling the critical gaps that leave individuals and families without support. Through strategic partnerships across West Virginia, we work to unite housing, workforce development, healthcare, food assistance, recovery, and reentry resources into a coordinated network of care. Our vision is a state where no person, regardless of their background, circumstances, or past mistakes, faces barriers to opportunity, stability, and a pathway forward.
