RISE Southeast

In 2016, El Paso County Public Health received a competitive grant to create the RISE Coalition, an initiative designed to create a cross-sector community coalition interested in working with stakeholders in Southeast. El Pomar’s Trustees made a seven-year commitment to help fund the Resilient, Inspired, Strong and Engaged (RISE) Coalition, especially in its resident-led work. RISE aims to enhance Southeast Colorado Springs through resident-led change and utilizes local resources to reduce barriers to success.
