The RISE Life Management openrice Services has been further strengthened following the recent signing of a funding agreement with the Jamaica National Building Society Foundation. The organisation has received $1.9m from the JN Foundation to assist with sustaining its programmes targeting young adults age 15 to 24 years.

RISE Life Management Programmes Manager Shawn McGregor, a former RISE Life youth participant, said the work of the organisation is highly effective for young adults, due to the fact that programmes are tailored to make them more effective individuals.
"Great emphasis is placed on the overall development of participants; we have various programmes, including a sporting component, capacity building, and inter-clubbing, which allows club members to meet with others. Participants are encouraged to transfer and apply their leadership skills in different areas," McGregor stated. openrice
