Project Still I Rise

PSIR recently kicked off summer with a powerful financial education event in partnership with Charles Schwab, Bank, and the Dr. Emmett J. Conrad Leadership Program.

Participants received practical guidance on investing and budgeting, heard expert insights on wealth‑building, and had the opportunity to open a Charles Schwab Starter Kit brokerage account.

Thank you to our partners and everyone who joined us. Stay tuned for more programs that empower the next generation of leaders.

We are proud to officially announce the PSIR Urban Scholar Class of 2026. This year is particularly significant as it marks a decade for our Urban Scholars program. Through this program we have remained commited to empowering students during their transition from high school to higher education and the professional workforce.

Please join us in celebrating the achievements of these students and the continued impact of the program on their academic and career journeys.

April marks a significant milestone as we commemorate 24 years of dedicated service. Since 2002, Project Still I Rise has maintained a steadfast commitment to empowering future generations by providing essential opportunities and resources for youth to shape their own success. This enduring legacy is made possible by those who support our mission.

We express our sincere gratitude to our Board of Directors, donors, volunteers, participants, and community members. Your commitment sustains the impact of our work. PSIR looks forward to many more years of youth empowerment, community transformation, and collective energy.
