ABOUT US
Who We Are
RYSE was established in November 2017 by a team of five co-founders who united their efforts after individually working with local youth refugees. They decided to collaborate to amplify their impact and reach a broader audience.
Today, we provide support to an average of 200 youth refugees from over 20 countries worldwide, thanks to the dedication of more than 100 volunteers.

Our mission
Our mission is to inspire positive development in youth refugees and help them to discover their true potential through support and empowerment.
We strive to promote the integration of youth refugees in to the job market in Luxembourg by breaking down the barriers facing refugees and encouraging inclusion which benefits refugees and the local community alike.
We aim to create a positive effect on the future generations both in Luxembourg and globally by helping refugees determine their goals and ambitions and identifying clear pathways to success.
Our three pillar approach
Our objective is to provide guidance and support to all our beneficiaries in order to help them find their place on the labor market. To achieve our mission and key accomplishment, we focus on a 3 pillar approach:
PrePAIR: on-to-one matches between citizens and the RYSE beneficiaries. Tailored, individual support to help our mentees integrate and work towards achieving their goals and ambitions.
NetWORK: volunteering opportunities for mentees to help them gain local work experience through volunteering with co-operative businesses and other local services.
RecruitME: initiative designed to connect our mentees with local employers. This program aims to empower them and provide the necessary tools to successfully navigate and access the job market.
