RISE High School Retreat

The Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio's R.I.S.E. High School Retreat (Respect, Inclusion, Social Justice, and Empathy) is a gathering of high school students who will spend 2 ½ days exploring topics of diversity and inclusion through experiential activities and discussions. Our R.I.S.E. Retreat returns April 18th – April 20th, 2024, with the theme of ACTIVISM: Student Change-Makers.

Through interactive workshops and team-building activities, students will:

  • Practice effective problem solving, collaboration, and leadership.
  • Identify instances of prejudice and examine biased behavior or beliefs.
  • Build relationships with young people from different backgrounds.
  • Shape conflict resolution, self-awareness, and relationship skills.

Our R.I.S.E. High School Retreat provides young people with life-changing experiences, fostering respect, integrity, and self-empowerment.

Counselors

Our retreats and conferences provide unique opportunities for youth to share a fun, critical thinking space. Counselors uniquely impact the students by serving as facilitators, active listeners, and guides to student experiences as they work through program activities. Camp Counselors are responsible for monitoring students as they participate in Diversity Center activities, camp activities, and simulations. This is an unpaid volunteer position that requires a background check.
