Mission: Our vision is for every kid to have the opportunity to learn new skills, compete, have fun, make friends, learn healthy habits, and stay out of trouble, regardless of his/her ability to pay.
Results: Today, Rise Above has partnered with many different community organizations to make a positive impact on a child's life. Those partners include KPAL (Police Activities League), Boys & Girls Club, Kuna School District, Hays Shelter Home/Hays House, and Idaho Youth Ranch.
Target demographics: All kids, regardless of ability to pay. In addition, we are actively seeking kids that come from broken homes and unhealthy environments to give them a chance to participate and learn from positive influences.
I can't say enough about this program! Shane and all the coaches are great with the kids. They promote positivity, education, motivation and fun! My kids absolutely love attending the Rise Above camps!
I haven been part of Rise Above since the beginning. I have been able to witness it grow and also see the impact is is having in our community. It is such a great outlet allowing Shane and the other trainers and volunteers like myself reach more kids and use our talents and training's to help better them. My own kids LOVE getting to go to the Rise Above Speed and Agility camps. It has truly made a difference in their performances with their sports that they are in, but it also teaches more then that. What they take away from these camps goes beyond the fields they play on. I see them taking what they learn into the classroom and at home. Rise Above is all about giving kids the keys they need to be successful on and off the playing fields. That is why I love being apart of this organization. Thank you Shane for finding this avenue and sharing your talents and bringing in others to help too. We are all here to help shape the future leaders of tomorrow.
