OUR HISTORY

In the heart of the North Bronx, I’RAISE sprouted its roots in 2012, initially as a mentoring program. Under the nurturing guidance of CEO Shanequa Moore, we reached out to 40+ at-risk female youth in New York City Authority Housing. From those humble beginnings, we burgeoned into a force for change, incorporating in 2013 and attaining Tax-Exempt Non-Profit status in 2014.

Our legacy tells a story of triumph, as we've touched the lives of over 7,500 vulnerable youth, guiding them through the shadows into the light of opportunity. I’RAISE has been a catalyst for transformation, a source of strength for those who would have otherwise faced insurmountable hardships.
