What is RISE

What is RISE

We are a youth social cohesion and wellbeing program. The Rise Wellbeing program aims to create a sense of community and belonging, that will contribute to a participant’s confidence and self-esteem. A structured curriculum trains youth in technical football and team building skills that teaches positive values including trust, respect, discipline and patience. The program encourages youth to make positive connections that builds their confidence and self-esteem.

Wellbeing

Wellbeing is recognised as being important in its own right and as a prerequisite for ‘Strengthening the Individual.’

The Rise Wellbeing Program is a structured football curriculum that trains youth in technical and tactical football skills. It contributes to the development of healthy habits by making exercise a regular part of a participant’s week and supports cognitive function and learning. Participant’s perceptual skills, attention and concentration are increased through the regular physical activity our program offers.

Youth learn positive values including trust, teamwork, respect, discipline, and patience. These values and behaviours support individual wellbeing and positive school engagement and academic performance.

At RISE – Coffs Harbour we encourage Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishments (PERMA).
