Four programmes.
One mission.
3-Day Development Camps
Our flagship programme an intensive residential camp for boys aged 13 and above. Over three days, boys move through a structured curriculum that builds identity, discipline, and brotherhood.
Each day has a theme: Know Yourself, Lead Yourself, and Rise Up. The camp is not a holiday. It's a turning point.
One-on-One Mentoring
Every boy who comes through the camp is matched with a trained, committed male mentor. This isn't a once-off interaction it's an ongoing relationship built on consistency and trust.
Mentors meet regularly with their mentees checking in, holding them accountable, celebrating wins, and showing up when things get hard. For many boys, this is the first time a man has chosen to stay.
Group Workshops
Practical, hands-on sessions that teach what school doesn't cover. We go deep on the skills boys need to navigate adult life:
✦
Financial literacy — budgeting, saving, avoiding debt
✦
Communication — how to speak, listen, and resolve conflict
✦
Personal hygiene and self-care
✦
Emotional regulation and handling pressure without violence
One-on-One Mentoring
We go where the boys are. Our school programme runs in-person assemblies and group sessions at schools across Johannesburg , introducing Rise Foundation to learners and connecting them directly into our mentoring and camp programmes.
School visits are how we find boys who would never find us. They are the front door to everything else we do.
