Dakota Rise is a Sioux Falls–based youth development and basketball mentorship program built on structure, accountability, and daily presence. Basketball is our working environment, not the destination. We use it to build habits that carry into school, home, and real life.

Our work goes beyond the gym. After-school sessions are built around routine, responsibility, and expectation. Kids show up on time, move with intention, and carry themselves with purpose. The work stays simple. It is never casual.

Our models adjust to fit our partners, not our standards. Delivery may change by setting or schedule, but expectations do not. Routine stays intact. Language stays consistent. Leadership stays visible.

Dakota Rise operates in schools, community centers, and group homes. Flexibility exists in format, not in values.
