When you partner with RiseUP, you’ll not only change the lives of young talent, but also help your own team grow stronger.
By training and hiring junior talent through the RiseUP Fellowship, you have the opportunity to improve your internal DEI initiatives, bring your clients more diverse perspectives, and build brand equity by doing good in the world. You’ll also be exposing your agency to a wider, more equitable pool of talent that’s screened based on potential, not on how many unpaid internships they have under their belt.
Oh, and bonus—the majority of the cost of RiseUP is tax-deductible, adding even more of a benefit to your agency’s operations.

Countless DEI programs launched, and promises made, that never created a measurable impact
If you’re in, so are we.
There are several ways to get involved:
Become a Host Agency
Think of a RiseUP Partnership like a “Fellowship in a box.” We take care of the admin, technology, and recruiting. We also provide the curriculum, the platform training, and the pro-bono client connection. You provide your Fellow with a welcoming environment, passionate mentors, agency resources, and a commitment to developing more diverse, unbiased hiring practices.

Support us as a Funder
If your agency isn’t in a position to host a Fellow, but you still want to help more diverse talent succeed, becoming a Funder is a great way to get involved. Along with social impact you’ll create by supporting our programs, funding partners also receive priority hiring access to our grads, invitations to events, mentorship opportunities, recognition on our website, and more.
