Alan Walther, RISE Board President says, “Skidmore College is an integral part of our community, and RISE is thrilled to partner with their Social Work department to provide opportunities for student internships.  The Skidmore RISE interns have been critical in helping us open the Adelphi Street low barrier shelter. These interns have helped make a positive impact on many lives, and we couldn’t be more grateful for all that they do.  We are also thankful for being a recipient of Skidmore College’s annual programs that donate needed supplies to local non-profits.”

Sybil Newell, RISE Executive Director says, “The partnership between RISE and Skidmore is a beautiful thing that benefits the whole community!”
