Welcome to Rising Leaders, the ultimate leadership incubator for young Black men in the Greater Portland area. This isn’t your average application.
This is the UNapplication, where creativity meets purpose.
The Unapplication is a fresh approach that gives you the freedom to express yourself in your own way, through video, art, music, writing, or whatever speaks to you. It’s not about fitting into a box. It’s about showing us who you are and what drives you.
We’re looking for bold voices, future changemakers, and unapologetic leaders. Rising Sophomores get priority but all young Black male students aged 13-17 are welcome to apply.
Program Dates: June 23 to August 8, 2025
Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington Counties
3-Year Commitment. Lifetime Impact.
Deadline: May 9, 2025
Ready to break the mold and show us who you really are?
