A youth prevention initiative by F.A.C.E.S.
Make the choice that protects your future. Get clear information, practical tools, and real support when you need it.
Rise Above Risk
Risk can show up as pressure, misinformation, fear, or the feeling that there is no better option. Rise Above Risk exists to put something stronger in its place: knowledge, connection, and a clear next step.
Created by Faith in Action Community Education Services (F.A.C.E.S.), the initiative connects young people and families with prevention-focused education and support.
