About Us
Who We Are
In 2020, three women asked, what is missing for survivors in Jacksonville? One survivor said, “After we finish a program, we lose access to that community and our resources dry up.” Today, Arize Together fills that gap and is a supportive community helping women move from surviving to thriving. Partnering with Northeast Florida’s programs serving survivors, we build on their foundation with layers of protection, opportunities for connection, and encouragement to reclaim joy and talents.
What We Do
Create Purposeful
Connections
We offer events and gatherings that foster growth, joy and healing — where our members can experience friendship, encouragement and love.
Provide a Network of
Allies
We pair our members with sister allies in an intentional friendship as well as seek out mission-minded individuals who can offer their services to our members.
Protect With
Financial Resources
We offer our members financial resources for mental wellness, emergency and housing assistance, and goal enhancements.
Our Core Values
We love because God loves us.
Jesus offers abundant life, through which we grow and find true joy.
We all are in desperate need for grace, and we extend grace to others.
Jesus loves through community – and we follow Him.

Member Advisory Council
The women we serve have been speaking into the Arize Together community since the very beginning. Back in 2020, eight women made up the pilot team and were our foundation. Today, our Member Advisory Council consults with leadership on decisions that impact programming and member initiatives. They are paid for their time and their expertise.
