• KNOW YOUR POWER

    Young people create and engage in opportunities that enrich their relationships with self, community, education, training and employment.

  • AMPLIFY YOUR VOICE

    Challenging underrepresentation by centring youth-led content, cultural reporting and authentic storytelling.

  • OWN YOUR FUTURE

    Reclaiming narrative power and building creative pathways that shift culture and open access to opportunity.

The RISE Collective is a grassroots, youth-powered production company building bold media, events and storytelling platforms that amplify marginalised voices.

We support young people — especially those excluded from opportunity — to grow as creatives, activists, producers, journalists, hosts, facilitators and changemakers.

From reporting at festivals to hosting radio shows and youth panels, everything we do is unapologetic, authentic and powered by young people showing up as their full selves.

Founded in 2016 alongside a group of young people exploring activism through creativity, RISE challenges marginalisation by equipping young people with the tools, training and real-world platforms to speak truth to power and write their own narratives.

We are rooted in the belief that marginalised young people deserve space, visibility and influence in the places where decisions are made and culture is shaped.
