Rising Stars Charity
Education is everything. It motivates us, molds us and helps us all succeed. But sometimes accessing the proper resources is a challenge for American kids—and teachers, too. Oliver T. Carr and Carr Workplaces founded Rising Stars in 2012 to help at-risk children succeed in their education. By partnering with charities across the nation, and by promoting the charity in our very own WorkReady community, we’re able to provide mentoring, tutoring, books and supplies, building refurbishment, teacher recognition and scholarships.
