The CYD Rising Blazers Program is ZIP code specific. We serve students who live or attend school in 75210 and 75215 (South Dallas Proper) and 75241 and 75216 (Oak Cliff Proper).

Youth ages 6 to 17 who live and/or attend school in one of the covered ZIP codes are eligible to apply. If you are a youth, please apply with your parent or guardian. Click here to join.

Rising Blazers partners with various organizations in the community to serve local youth. Our service providers (subcontractors) serve youth who exhibit at least two priority, high-risk characteristics. Program services reflect a mix of intensive services that serve a limited number of youth (such as one-on-one mentoring) and lower intensity services that serve a higher number of youth (for example, group recreation).

Please visit our Service Providers page to learn more about our partners.

Rising Blazers is also an approved entity to provide teen Mental Health First Aid training. Rising Blazers can partner with high schools and nonprofit organizations serving youth ages 15-17 to provide training. Click here to learn more about teen Mental Health First Aid.
