Rewriting Possibility. Inspiring Kids to See Their Future at the Highest Level.

​

Our Mission

​

Most kids grow up never even considering that one day their name could be spoken in the same breath as a Nobel Prize winner, a Pulitzer recipient, or a National Medal of the Arts honoree.

They see these as impossible heights, reserved for "other people"—the elite, the privileged, the chosen few. But we exist to break that illusion.

 

At Wise Up to Rise Up, we introduce kids to the highest level of human achievement across every field—science, literature, computing, public service, athletics, the arts—and challenge them to imagine their place in that history. A kid who’s been told they'll never amount to anything?
We show them they could one day hold a Fields Medal in mathematics, a Turing Award in computing, or a Congressional Gold Medal for changing lives. A kid who’s never been encouraged to dream beyond survival? We help them see themselves receiving a Presidential Medal of Freedom, winning an Olympic gold, or earning a MacArthur Genius Grant for pioneering breakthroughs.

We don’t just help kids dream big. We help them redefine what’s possible.

​

A kid who feels like a nobody? We help them picture themselves as a future Nobel Peace Prize recipient, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, or a world-renowned scientist solving global problems.

A student who’s told they’ll never amount to anything? We help them believe they could one day lead a Fortune 500 company, become a U.S. senator, or invent technology that changes lives.

How We Make an Impact

​

We don’t just tell students they can be great. We show them how.

​

• Mentorship: We surround students with people who have walked the path before them, proving success is possible.

​

• Exposure: We introduce them to high achievers, innovators, and changemakers so they can see what’s possible for their own lives.

​

• Opportunities: We help them set real goals, take action, and gain the tools to break cycles of limitation.

​

We speak to the next generation of leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, and world-changers. Some of them will go on to:

​

• Win Pulitzers, write bestselling books, and shape culture through storytelling.

• Develop scientific breakthroughs that earn Nobel Prizes, Fields Medals, and Turing Awards.

• Start businesses that transform industries and redefine what’s possible.

• Lead in government, crafting policies that change lives for generations.

• Dedicate their lives to humanitarian work and earn global recognition for their impact.

​

But before any of that happens, they need to believe it’s possible.

​

​

​

​

How We Break-Through

​

We work in underserved, inner-city schools, where 85% of students live below the federal poverty line and qualify for free or reduced lunch. Many have incarcerated parents, are in foster care, or face systemic barriers that make high achievement feel out of reach.

​

We break through those barriers by providing:

 

• Radical Exposure – We introduce students to history’s biggest achievers, showing them what’s possible in fields they’ve never even imagined.

​

• Extreme Vision Expansion – We push students to see themselves at the level of a Nobel laureate, an Olympic champion, or a global leader—because that’s where their ambition should start.

​

• Unconventional Mentorship – We don’t just tell them they can succeed. We teach them how to think like the people who shape history.

​

This isn’t about helping kids "do well."
This is about redefining success entirely.

​

​​

​

​

Who We Serve

​

We work with kids from all walks of life.

Some of them are social butterflies, well-connected, excelling in academics and extracurriculars, raised with every advantage. Others have been counted out—told they’ll never make it, never rise beyond their circumstances, never leave a mark.

​

But here’s what’s different about us:

​

• We don’t lower the vision based on where a student starts.

• We don’t change the conversation based on privilege or struggle.

• We refuse to set a ceiling on any student’s potential.

​

Whether they "have it all" or are struggling to find their place in the world, our message stays the same:

​

⭐ Your name belongs among the greatest.
⭐ You can aim for the Nobel Prize, the Pulitzer, the Fields Medal, or the National Medal of the Arts.
⭐ You can stand alongside the highest achievers in human history—if you dare to reach that far.

​

The vision is so high, so bold, so unwavering, that every student we work with—no matter their background—leaves seeing themselves differently.

 

Because we don’t see them as they are today.
We see them as who they could become.

And we make sure they start seeing it too.

​​

 

​

Why This Matters​

​

Most people never believe their name will be etched into history.

​

But why not?

​

The Nobel Prize, the Pulitzer, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Congressional Gold Medal— these are not for some unreachable class of people. They are earned by those who refuse to accept ordinary limits.

​

We believe that:

✔ Excellence isn’t a privilege—it’s a choice.
✔ Achievement isn’t about where you come from—it’s about how far you refuse to stop.
✔ History belongs to those who dare to write it.

​

​

The Future We Are Creating​.

​Wise Up to Rise Up isn’t here to help kids “do better.”

We’re here to ignite the kind of thinking that changes history.

​

By exposing kids to the highest level of human excellence, we show them that their future can be as bold, legendary, and world-changing as they decide to make it.

​

When they rise, they don’t just achieve for themselves.

They push humanity forward.

​

We won’t stop until every student we reach understands this truth:

​

⭐ Your potential is limitless.
⭐ You belong among the greatest.
⭐ You have the power to reshape history.
