Nashville Rise is a relatively new organization<br />
that started work in late 2015 and Angelica<br />
has been with them from the beginning.<br />
Angelica and other parents have worked<br />
together to create the Nashville Rise<br />
mission—a mission that creates<br />
opportunities for parent civic engagement.<br />
This past summer, she worked with Ariba<br />
and other parents to lead a large community<br />
forum informing parents about the school<br />
board election while bringing candidates<br />
directly to them.<br />
“Everything parents have shared that they<br />
wanted to know more about—even if it’s<br />
just different types of schools, or where to<br />
register to vote, or concerns about getting<br />
school supplies—Nashville Rise always<br />
meets the parents where they are and tries<br />
its best to give them the resources and<br />
information that they need to equip them<br />
to make that great choice.”<br />
Nashville Rise is lucky to have Angelica and<br />
other parents like her who dedicate so much<br />
time and effort to improving their children’s<br />
schools. It’s quality volunteers like Angelica<br />
that make organizing success possible. Δ
