Edmund Benson, Co-Founder of ARISE, Celebrates His 80th Birthday by Contributing Over 100 Life Management Skills Curricula to the International Nonprofit Community
Benson understands firsthand the hardships faced by high school dropouts and at-risk youth, because he took that difficult path himself. He hopes to reach out to the other nonprofits by offering life skills curricula for translation free of charge.
ARISE life-management skills curricula are used in public, alternative and charter schools, juvenile justice facilities, residential treatment centers, faith-based organizations, Salvation Army, Boys and Girls Clubs, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s After School All-Stars program and organizations that educate orphans and other troubled youth around the world. The programs are written for underachieving pre-k, elementary, and middle school children, teens, and young adults with limited reading and writing capabilities. The ARISE life-management skills program succeeds with youth who have behavior issues and special needs.
