What are you building this summer? Drop it in the comments — we want to hear from you. 👇

Progress is not always loud. Sometimes it is a quiet decision to keep going. 💙

You do not have to have everything figured out before you take the next step. You just have to take it.

Ask the question. Submit the application. Reach out for support. Rise is here when you are ready.

Rise would not be what it is without our volunteers. 💙

Our volunteers are mentors, connectors, and champions who show up to support entrepreneurs who are building something meaningful, often without a team behind them.

If you have skills in business, finance, marketing, operations, or simply a passion for community impact, we want to hear from you.

Volunteering with Rise is a chance to give back in a way that creates lasting change for entrepreneurs in Canada.

Every person in the Rise community brings their own story, their own hustle, and their own vision of what they are building.

When we come together to learn, share, and support each other, everyone moves forward stronger.

We are proud to be part of your journey.

You’ve started a business independently, but that doesn’t mean you’re on your own. 💙

A lot of entrepreneurs carry the weight of building alone, not because they want to, but because they do not know what help is actually available or because they have been told they do not qualify.

Rise is here to change that. We work with solopreneurs, self-employed individuals, and entrepreneurs navigating barriers that many programs overlook. If you have been waiting for a sign that support exists for someone like you, this is it.

The tools, mentorship, and community are here. You just have to reach out.
