Boards hear updates on youth programs RISE Above and Respect Project; grant decision expected next month
Summary
City and partners previewed youth programming, including a free eight-week 'RISE Above' course for ages 9–12 and efforts to bring a 16-week 'Respect' mentorship program to South County; staff said grant award announcements are expected next month.
City staff and partners described two youth programs that will begin this fall. The RISE Above program, run with the sheriff’s department, will be an eight-week free series for ages 9–12 that covers leadership, resiliency and prevention topics and requires parent participation; staff said sessions are scheduled on Thursdays from Sept. 17 through Nov. 5.
Separately, speakers described the Respect Project — a 16-week mentorship program currently operating in North County and being pursued for South County and the Lemon Grove area. A council member asked for more coordination with the school district for outreach and site planning. Staff said they have submitted a grant application and expect to hear whether the Respect Project will be awarded by next month.
