BLUE RISING

Mission

WE BELIEVE YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE HEALTHY RISKS, EXPLORE LIFE AND MAKE MISTAKES SAFELY WITHOUT LIFE-ALTERING CONSEQUENCES THAT CHANGE THEIR FUTURES. WE ENVISION A WORLD WHERE KIDS CAN ENTER ADULTHOOD WITHOUT THE EMOTIONAL SCARS AND TRAUMA THAT ARE PART OF STRUGGLIING TO RECOVER FROM A HIGH-POTENCY THC MARIJUANA ADDICTION, HAVE FRIENDS OR FAMILY MEMBERS DIE FROM FENTANYL POISONING, AND EXPERIENCING THE ANXIETY AND GRIEF THAT COMES FROM THE EVER-PRESENT THREAT OF GUN VIOLENCE. THIS GENERATION OF KIDS IS FACING NEW AND COMPLEX CHALLENGES THAT THREATEN THE TRAJECTORY OF THEIR LIVES. THE RISK LANDSCAPE HAS CHANGED. COMMONSENSE POLICIES AND PROGRAMS NEED TO BE DEVELOPED, AND ADAPTED TO KEEP UP THE FAST-PACED CHANGES.
