Rise Up Community Center: Working with the youth and families of Carroll County Maryland

June 9, 2018 - 1 minute read

This is Katie and Angel with Rise Up Community Center located in Westminster, MD. I’ve known Katie for a while now. I did her senior photos for high school and now she is already a Certified Nonprofit Professional (CNP) and the Executive Director of the community center. It seems like yesterday when I made her senior photos. Time does go by fast and this lady is hitting the ground running. I stopped out today and got to see the new community center. It’s perfectly located on Main Street directly across from Pizza Bolis. For reals; a pizza joint right there, and who doesn’t like pizza. The community center feels warm and inviting for the youth and families. I also met Angel, the Director of Development for the community center. I asked them for a portrait and away we went to the front of the building. A few snaps later and we got the portrait. Westminster is lucky to have Katie, Angel, the Partners, and the volunteers to help the youth and families in Carroll County. I recommend checking out their Facebook page (Rise Up Community Center) and website (https://www.weareriseup.org/) for more information. Check out the partner’s page to see who’s already involved. Thank you, Katie and Angel, for bringing your services to the Carroll County community and letting me make your portrait.
