Reimagining Youth-Centered Strategies and Engagement

The future of adolescent health is co-created with young people.

The RYSE Innovation Hub is grounded in the idea that when young people are true partners in designing solutions that advance adolescent health and well-being, those solutions are stronger, more relevant, and more likely to be sustained. We partner with Innovation Development Teams (IDTs) across the country to strengthen and accelerate their youth-centered innovations through design support, testing, and refinement.

At RYSE, we collaborate with IDTs to develop innovative solutions, while placing young people at the forefront of decision-making. Through structured support, coaching, and collaboration with our Youth Innovation Advisors, teams strengthen how they design, test, and refine their work. Our approach helps move ideas from early concept — to tested approaches — to real-world implementation.

Our Approach

When you work with RYSE, you strengthen how your team designs, tests, and builds innovative solutions with young people. Here is what it looks like in practice.

Why Work With RYSE

Move your innovation forward — at the right pace

We provide phase-appropriate support across the innovation journey, including training, coaching, tools, and access to subject matter experts. Whether your work is early-stage or more developed, we help you reach the next milestone.

Build your team’s capacity to co-create with young people

We help teams strengthen their ability to share power with young people, such as building the skills, structures, and readiness needed to co-design, prototype, test, and/or refine innovations with end users.

Develop tools you can use and reuse

Teams leave the RYSE Hub with practical tools, such as how to develop a youth-centered innovation Theory of Change and an innovation implementation and evaluation plan developed in partnership with young people. These tools are designed to be used beyond your project and adaptable across projects and organizations.

Learn with (and from) others doing this work

Join our Learning Collaboratives to connect with other IDTs for peer exchange and collaborative problem-solving. Teams will also have access to a broader alumni network to extend learning and connection beyond your cohort.
