RISE UP: YOUNG MEN EMPOWERED FOR THE FUTURE

 

On March 28th, Soaring Eagles Youth & Family Services hosted the 4th Annual RISE UP: Young Men Teen Summit at the Tulsa Dream Center — a free, full-day event designed to inspire and equip young men in grades 8–12 with the tools they need to thrive. From mental health awareness to college and career readiness, the summit addressed timely and critical issues impacting youth today in a high-energy, affirming environment.

Through impactful sessions and dynamic speakers, attendees engaged in open conversations around substance abuse prevention, domestic violence awareness, and emotional intelligence. With practical guidance on financial planning and professional pathways, the summit fostered leadership, confidence, and a sense of purpose among participants. Meals were provided, and the atmosphere was filled with mentorship, peer support, and forward-thinking dialogue.

Supported by a coalition of community partners and sponsors, including the Schusterman Foundation, Transformation Church, and Birthright Living Legacy, the RISE UP Teen Summit continues to be a beacon of empowerment for Tulsa’s youth.
