Mr. Edmund Benson, co-founder and author of the ARISE curricula, is taking another step to further his mission to help at-risk youth—not just in the US, but around the world.
As a 80th birthday gift, he is offering FREE Creative License to allow over 100 Life Skill books to be translated into various languages to help educate troubled youth in
many diverse cultures where these skills are vital.
Since ARISE was established over two decades ago, they have trained and certified over 5,000 instructors who have taught over 4,000,000 documented hours of ARISE life
skills lessons in Florida alone. ARISE is also being used in Canada, Jamaica, England, Australia, Bahamas, Bermuda, New Zealand, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Bosnia, Kazakhstan,
the Kingdom of Bahrain, and Central Asia. The ARISE curricula is presently being translated into Kazakh and Russian.
Instructors, teachers, and volunteers working at non-profit organizations in a variety of regions can apply for permission to translate ARISE materials into the native
language of that country for non-commercial use.
