ARISE Foundation announces the creation of an exciting series of eye-opening motivational posters, each featuring an important lesson for at-risk youth.

February 18, 2009

obama-measure-up-posterballoon-poster-color-finalIn its continuous effort to find fresh, interesting ways to get in under the radar of at-risk and incarcerated youth, ARISE Foundation has created a series of empowering posters that use compelling images and pointed phrases to teach lessons about vital life skills.

Each poster illustrates a fundamental skill or drives home a point in a simple, straightforward manner. Susan and Edmund Benson, the founders of ARISE Foundation, believe that the best way to reach young people is through potent images and easily understood, engaging lessons. The ARISE Motivational posters touch on key issues facing at-risk populations: drug and alcohol abuse, staying in school, domestic violence, self esteem, gang violence, anger management, graffiti and much more. The ARISE posters use original artwork and catchy phrases to get kids and teens thinking.

ARISE motivational posters can be used to inspire group discussions. They are a fantastic tool to engage youth and get them talking about their own experiences and opinions. Each poster is a self-contained life skills lesson. They stand on their own or can be used to enhance the activities in the ARISE Life Skills library. The impact of a gripping image and a powerful phrase cannot be overstated. Each poster has the potential to reach at-risk youth the way nothing else can

To view and purchase posters in a wide variety of sizes, visit the ARISE website. There are even free ARISE motivational posters available for download.
