RiseHyre

RiseHyre was founded by Scott Green, an Orange County entrepreneur and philanthropist who was inspired to create employment opportunities for people who face significant challenges entering the job market. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic was causing increased unemployment, disproportionately among marginalized populations. Scott’s vision was to create a nonprofit events organization that employs and trains people from underserved communities, while also providing valuable marketing and event services to other companies and organizations. The company was launched in October 2020 with the goal of starting locally and expanding nationally to provide jobs and job training to thousands of people in need of sustainable employment. RiseHyre collaborates with other non-profit partners to help find, train, and mentor employees and then generates apprentice-like opportunities. Candidates for our programs include people with barriers to employment, the formerly incarcerated, foster youth, the unhoused, and survivors of domestic violence.
