South Bronx Rising Together is a collaborative network of program providers and community stakeholders. This group will work together to create a community that is college and career ready by leveraging the expertise of a network of families, educators, business leaders, community advocates and service providers to support the lifelong success of families and youth in the community. We have five Collaborative Action Networks that meet monthly to work on projects specific to each goal. Goal #1- All are Healthy is focused on reducing the rates of asthma related ER visits and hospitalizations in children who live in Community District 3 in the South Bronx.
