R.I.S.E Lunch and Learns
We are excited to share the R.I.S.E. 2026 schedule with our community partners!
R.I.S.E. stands for Richland Involved, Supported, and Engaged and is a series of monthly Lunch & Learn opportunities hosted by the Richland County Youth and Family Council.
These events are designed to bring community partners together to stay up to date on the wide range of services and supports available to individuals and families across Richland County.
R.I.S.E. meetings are held monthly from January through October, on the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM, and rotate throughout the community at partner locations.
A few highlights to note:
- Richland County Youth and Family Council provides lunch and handles the overall coordination and organization of each event.
- Hosting organizations are asked to provide a presentation about their organization, including services, programs, and supports offered, along with any handouts they feel would be helpful for attendees.
- We currently have a couple of months still open on the 2026 schedule. If your organization is interested in hosting a R.I.S.E. Lunch & Learn, we would love to hear from you.
These gatherings continue to be a valuable way to strengthen collaboration, share knowledge, and ensure our community remains connected and informed.
Please note that a separate calendar invite will not be sent for each monthly event. We kindly ask that you utilize the attached 2026 R.I.S.E. schedule and use it as needed on your end (calendar reminders, internal sharing, etc.) to help you remember locations if you or someone from your organization plans to attend.
We look forward to another year of learning, connection, and partnership. RSVP is required for all RISE 2026 events.
