THE RISE INTEREST FORM IS OPEN FOR THE SPRING COHORT!
R.I.S.E. (Resiliency, Inclusion, Social Awareness, Education) is a program curated by the Terence Crutcher Foundation and the USA BMX Foundation. R.I.S.E. brings mentorship, history, STEAM education, inclusion, and awareness to the youth of our community. This 12-week program is free to all students residing within North Tulsa ZIP codes!
The program started on Juneteenth in 2022 at the Hardesty BMX Stadium, located in the Historic Greenwood District, starting with a cohort of 20 students. By 2023, the program grew to 3 cohorts, graduating over 80 students.
As of 2025, we've graduated 10 cohorts. We want to welcome your students and family to join our community!
Upon graduation, scholars participating in the program will earn a custom R.I.S.E. jersey, BMX bike & helmet and a lifetime membership at USA BMX. At the end of the year, each cohort is invited to attend the USA BMX Grand Nationals in November during Thanksgiving weekend to watch the races, and a few racers will be selected to participate in the big race!
The R.I.S.E. program offer students in our community a full evening's curriculum through their 12 weeks.Β
Each session offers our professionally developed curriculum, including physical activity on the premiere Hardesty BMX track, classroom learning alternating weekly between S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, art & mathematics) and social-emotional learning through journaling, dedicated time with a mentor from Tulsa or the BMX athletic world, and finally dinner with families.
We start the cohort's first week with a grounding tour of Greenwood and dedicate the last week to graduating and celebrating the students with community.
Interest Form sign-ups are now being accepted for 4th-8th grade students for our 3 cohorts.
Sign-up as soon as possbile to secure your student's spot!
