Testimonials
Having this team who saw my potential, believed in me, and encouraged me to keep going was crucial to my success in starting over in a new field.
Melanie | Age 44
I wish I had the support of Return & Rise earlier in my career - it's been invaluable as a working mom with two young kids while trying to wrap up my education. Their commitment to supporting women has allowed me to thrive in my industry!
Katie | Age 31
Community has made all the difference in being able to get started in a career after a pause to raise children. Without the support and advocacy of groups like Return and Rise, I'm not sure I would have been brave enough to find the success I have found.
