Twin Cities Rise! Making a Difference In the Community

The mission of Twin Cities Rise! is to transform lives out of poverty through meaningful employment and create a community of empowered individuals, especially men of color, who achieve long term job success to support their families. Twin Cities Rise! assists individuals in poverty on the path to long-term and stable employment. Their work skills training prepares participants with the skills they’ll need on the job. And through internship opportunities, job search assistance, and employment placement services, TCR works with participants to find meaningful employment. Our coaches provide one-on-one support, partnering with participants for a year after they’ve landed their new jobs. They focus on long term results – with 81% of graduates staying at their jobs after one year, our 12-month job retention rates are nearly twice the national average.
