Our Purpose

To build up the next generation of students who want to be a part of making a difference in the world through sustainability, health, and safety within universities while also bridging the gap between the student and the universities health and safety personnel.

“I wanted to be a part of something big. Something that can make a difference within the realm of where I am. Being 22 years old, there’s really no better place to start than universities. I want to be a part of building the future generation, and I believe this program is a great place to start.” – Evan McKown (Co founder of RAISE “CAP”)

“I am very excited about the opportunity to be a RAISE Campus Ambassador. I have always wanted to have a positive impact on people through meaningful work and I believe this is the perfect place to do it. I am grateful for the RAISE leadership team and how supportive they have been as I begin my journey.” – Will Long (Co founder of RAISE “CAP”)
