General Organization & Philosophy
Our mission statement is “Creating Opportunities for and with People.” We aim to create meaningful connections and provide specialized support for individuals so they can live a life of choice and opportunity.
At RISE, we don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. We work collaboratively with the individual, their family, and their support team to follow an Individual Support Plan (ISP). This ensures that every service—whether in-home, residential, or employment-based—is tailored to the specific preferences and goals of the person we serve.
We have a broad presence across the state, with local offices and programs in major hubs including Boise, Burley, Emmett, Fruitland, Mountain Home, Nampa, Twin Falls, and surrounding communities. This allows us to provide localized, accessible care to families throughout Idaho.
