Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Civil Rights, Disabilities, Disabled Persons Rights

Mission: Rise is a grassroots movement created to foster inclusion and access for people with limited mobility and speech to local businesses and public venues. Rise educates local businesses and venue owners about opportunities to make their location more accessible to disabled customers and provides resources on easy, inexpensive solutions that make the location more inclusive. I meet with local business owners and managers and share how they can make their venue more accessible to a person with a disability. They can add a bell! It's easy, inexpensive and makes a huge difference for someone like me- who can't get in or ask for help easily.

Jonathan Mancebo has used challenges to become opportunities in overcoming inaccessibility to businesses, offices, and community rooms. He mastered a simple bell and sign outside these places so all abilities can alert someone inside to open the door and allow them entry. So simple, so needed, and so vital to spread the word across more cities.

RISE AS One is a wonderful inclusive nonprofit organization. Jonathan is a self-starter and dedicated to helping others with disabilities. His "doorbell" project is excellent and brilliant, such is simple idea to help other people with mobile disabilities feel included and to make life just a little less stressful for them. I've seen quite a few at local retail stores around Coconut Creek. GREAT JOB JONATHAN!!!! making to world a better place a little bit every day.

Jonathan has not let anything stop him. His ambition and willpower makes him shine in his community as he plays his part in making South Florida, and hopefully soon other parts of the State and Country and World, more accessible.
I recommend everyone who reads this to donate to Jonathan’s incredible and wholly worthwhile cause!

This is a great non-profit to donate to! They strive to bring awareness to a cause that is often less publicized by the media. The founder has his heart in the right place.
I'm glad this cause was brought to my attention. S2

Jonathan stopped by our studio to educate us about his non profit organization. We are so happy that we could participate by adding a doorbell to our storefront to raise awareness about accessibility. We are grateful for the knowledge he shared with us!

Rise is a great organization, founded by a wonderful young man. Jonathan is extremely professional, dedicated, and passionate about his cause. He is a well-known figure in the community and always has a smile on his face as well. We are planning an event with him to benefit his nonprofit, and he has always been very upfront about what he expects from us, as well as informative about his organization. -Monica Trepiccione, Assistant General Manager, World of Beer Coconut Creek
