The Rise Up Rochester, Incorporated team is comprised of credible messengers and individuals who have been directly impacted by violence and don’t want other families to experience the same pain. Our team wouldn’t be complete without our committed volunteers who strategize and work each week to take back our streets and support families impacted by violence. To join our crusade, please contact (585) 454-3060.
