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.

If you’re looking for a way to get outside while also improving your whole self, gardening may be the hobby for you.
In many communities, men have been revered as the steadfast providers and protectors of their families. Societally, we hold a belief that men possess a strength—both mental and physical—that surpass any other gender. It doesn’t have to be this way. According to Mental Health America of Wisconsin, “one of the ways we can support the health of men in our lives is to increase their understanding about mental health and risk factors.”
We all know volunteering has a positive influence, but did you know that it can actually assist your health?
