Rise Above: The Power of Prevention, The Promise of Youth
Join host Gisselle Tamayo as she sits down with her colleague Aliyah Ortiz, Program Coordinator at Kings Partnership, to talk about Rise Above—a youth empowerment program that’s helping youth build leadership, prioritize mental health, and prevent substance use.
Aliyah shares how the program creates safe, welcoming spaces where young people can connect, lead, and grow. From peer support to prevention workshops, Rise Above is creating opportunities for young people to foster positive impact both personally and in the community. Together, they explore why investing in youth voice and purpose is key to building a healthier, more resilient future.
