What students say
Testimonies from some of our graduates
“Raise Up has given me the opportunity to reach goals I didn’t think were possible. It gave me insight to see the bigger picture and gave me inspiration to pursue college.”
“I had problems at home. My family didn’t want me to continue high school, but Raise Up was always there. They helped with food, college, and other needs, and they never let me down.”
“Raise Up is more than mentoring they provided me with resources to help me make my dreams come true they will support your dreams all you have to give is effort.”
“I am thankful to Raise up for helping me to get where I am, while it is possible that I could have gotten here on my own, Raise up made my journey a lot less strenuous.”
“While there are countless things I could share about Raise Up, I believe this is the most important: it has taught me to believe in myself and the promise of the future.“
“Raise Up provided me with the tools to build a brighter future and played a crucial role in my journey to Clemson University. As a first-generation college student, Mr. Rebecca and Mrs. Allyson have offered invaluable guidance and support, helping me overcome any obstacle in my path. Raise Up has made a lasting impact on my life and will continue to shape my family’s future for years to come.”
