Saturday Academy

RISE’s Saturday Academy takes place every Saturday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Destiny Christian Center. The program is designed to offer refugee and immigrant students a safe and supportive environment where they can learn, explore, and grow. Students receive help with homework, preparation for Regents exams, and have opportunities to engage in creative activities and recreational play.

In addition to academic support, the Saturday Academy includes enriching field trips and hands-on educational experiences that encourage self-expression and personal development. Through one-on-one advisement and mentorship, we aim to inspire students to pursue their academic and personal goals with confidence.

We are always looking for passionate and dependable volunteers who are interested in dedicating their Saturdays to mentoring and uplifting refugee youth. If you’re interested in getting involved, please contact us at info@syracuserise.org.
