Teens RISE is a youth-led group of peer educators. Youth receive education and facilitator coaching, present programming to local youth and adults, and learn about and participate in the legislative process in Tennessee. Youth also participate and develop service projects, such as tabling at local events and developing educational social media content.

RISE is taking responsible, inclusive sexuality education and prevention supplies to youth where they are—outside their schools. Trained, background-checked staff provide resources and judgment-free information on topics from healthy relationships to menstruation, long-acting reversible contraception to STI prevention. Students can ask questions anonymously via an online form and find their answers on Instagram @teens_rise.
