Rising Oak Foundation
OUR MISSION: TO HELP YOUNG MEN RISE










Imagine a different reality...

Imagine a reality where black boys are seen as divine seeds, and their potential and ability to grow are never limited or underestimated. Rising Oak Foundation is committed to bringing about that reality.

Our vision at the Rising Oak Foundation is all about love. We see ourselves as gardeners, sowing and nurturing the hearts, minds and souls of the husbands, fathers and sons of our cultural tomorrow.

We don’t believe our boys have to be labeled “at risk” in order to be acknowledged and have their developing promise encouraged.

By fostering strength, security and pride we will guide their growth, without changing the essence of who they are.
