Our Mission
The RISE Drug Free MKE coalition raises awareness of substance (mis)use, and, through inclusive education, elevates our entire community, from our youth to our elders, out of the harms caused by substance (mis)use.
Established in 2011, the RISE Drug Free MKE coalition (formerly MCSAP) exists to raise awareness to elevate youth in Milwaukee County through education, and to lift the entire community out of harms caused by substance use. With our coalition partners we will RISE to provide youth with Resources for Inclusive Substance Education. RISE is more than a name: It is a call to action, and a promise of the direction we're moving in as a community, together.

Some people set goals every Monday or on the first of every month, but as 2024 comes to an end, you might feel extra pressure to quit bad habits and turn over a new leaf. But before jumping into 2025, take a moment to reflect on 2024. This reflection can be an insightful tool for setting New Year’s resolutions that align with where you are right now.
This season, be a part of the merriment by giving back through these four fun festive ways to spread holiday cheer.
