Where Leaders Rise Campaign

Detroit’s future depends on developing the next generation of leaders, innovators, and workforce talent. The Jalen Rose Leadership Academy (JRLA) was created to help make that future possible — and today, the Academy stands at a pivotal moment.

The Where Leaders Rise Campaign is a $25 million capital initiative designed to expand access to JRLA’s proven educational model and ensure more Detroit students are prepared to succeed in college, career, and life.

The impact of this campaign will extend far beyond JRLA’s classrooms. More students will graduate prepared for college and career. More families will experience economic mobility and expanded opportunity. And Detroit will benefit from a stronger pipeline of diverse, career-ready leaders equipped to contribute to the city’s continued growth and competitiveness.

This is a pivotal moment — for JRLA, for Detroit students and families, and for the future of our city. We invite you to join us in expanding opportunity, strengthening Detroit’s future workforce, and ensuring that JRLA remains a place Where Leaders Rise.
