Mission:
Rising Hearts is an Indigenous-led organization dedicated to amplifying community voices through kinship, movement advocacy, and storytelling. We empower communities by fostering intersectional collaboration, promoting cultural resilience, joy and creating meaningful change for the next generations. Through our programs, we inspire collective action, elevate Indigenous and community centered narratives, creating safe and supportive spaces, continuously learn and show up how we can, and mobilize support for those in need.
Much of the heart work we prioritize is cultivating kinship with brands, companies and groups, while creating meaningful collaborations with the Rising Hearts athletes, community partners and broader movement community.
Vision:
To foster a world where diverse voices and bodies are amplified, celebrated, protected, and empowered through authentic kinship, meaningful collaboration, and advocacy. Rising Hearts envisions a future where meaningful connections between athletes, community partners, and allies spark collective action, inspire positive change, and elevate the stories that unite and strengthen our diverse communities.
