About NYC Kids RISE
NYC Kids RISE is a nonprofit organization that provides families, schools, and communities with a way to work together to invest in and save for their children’s futures.
Building on the dreams and expectations that families have for their children’s futures, NYC Kids RISE aims to make attending and graduating from college and career training more achievable for all NYC public school students—regardless of where their family income or immigration status.
NYC Kids RISE manages the Save for College Program in partnership with NYC Public Schools and the City of New York.
