CREATE PURPOSEFUL CONNECTIONS

We offer events and gatherings that foster growth, joy and healing -- where our members and guests can tangibly experience the love of Jesus.

Members and sister allies are invited to our monthly gathering called "Clubhouse." Usually on the first Saturday of the month, Clubhouse is where we intentionally build community in an atmosphere that is uplifting, safe and filled with laughter.

Sometimes, Clubhouse has a therapeutic component; sometimes it's educational. But Clubhouse is always fun.

In addition to Clubhouse meetings, we sometimes offer enriching, or just social, community-building opportunities to our members and sister allies. 

Money Worx is an annual three-part seminar co-led and written by a member. It is a safe place for members to ask questions about money matters and learn more about budgeting and saving.

Arize at Church is an invitation to members and sister allies to attend a local church service together.

Other events include new member mixers, movie outings, and our annual Christmas party.

Each member of Arize Together has a Rize Plan, which she writes with the help of her sister ally. Her Rize Plan includes specific personal goals that she is working on in the near term.

PROVIDE A NETWORK
OF ALLIES

We seek out mission-minded individuals who can offer professional services, personal resources, and social capital to support our members through various needs.

Arize Together partners with employers who offer a safe and healthy work environment to fill open positions with our members. 

Arize Together partners with various professionals to offer our members trustworthy and safe connections to meet their needs. Examples include:

• Attorneys
• Mechanics
• Licensed mental health counselors
• Realtors
• Dentists

SUPPORT WITH FINANCIAL RESOURCES

We provide our members with supportive funds that act as safety nets and aid in forward movement.

We offer up to $1,000 per 12-month period to any Arize Together member to subsidize her mental health care. The member pays a pre-determined portion of the negotiated fee with the licensed provider, and we pay the balance. ​

In the spirit of growth and success, Arize Together offers up to $1,000 in a 12-month period to help our vested members fund their goals. Each member expresses her goals through her Rize Plan, and we provide funding to make her aspirations become a reality.  ​

A critical component of long-term recovery is having a safety net when life serves expensive and disruptive surprises. Arize Together provides up to $1,000 in a 12-month period to each vested member to help her through immediate threats to her health, safety or livelihood for reasons out of her control.  

The Freedom Fund is designed to teach savings habits over one year with a match incentive up to $1,000 per participant. The Freedom Fund is supported by a grant from the Delores Barr Weaver Grassroots Grants Endowment at The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida.
