&Rise is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that empowers women to be the ultimate versions of themselves no matter what adversities they've faced. We are so excited to now offer our virtual, women only, bi-weekly book club, led by support group facilitator, Andrew Wellman.

Each month (depending on book size) Andrea will choose a self-help, empowerment, or memoir to read with the group. There is no formula to the books she chooses, she simply chooses thoughtfully and looks for books that will help, empower, and inspire the women who attend.

Please note that many of the women in our community are sexual and domestic abuse survivors and there is a chance that the book you will be reading will pertain to healing or overcoming trauma and abuse. This is a wonderful opportunity to make new like-minded friends and to connect over reading and discussing the book you will be reading.

We ask for a $5 suggested donation but if you cannot pay that is also okay. We welcome anyone who is ready and willing to learn and grow with other wonderful women.
