Hello, my name is Crystal Hemphill-Haley, I have served in the capacity of the education field for the past 25 years, I am the wife of a Prominent Pastor in the City of Los Angeles, and I am very passionate about community outreach. As the Founder/President of the Too Rise Up Foundation, I am very excited to bring my passion to our non-profit organization. As one who possesses a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and has had the opportunity to work with at-risk youth, I developed a profound passion for helping youth and young adults to excel and rise above their struggles. As I pursue my master’s degree in Social Work, I can say that I along with my co-founder Delores Simms, we are very driven to bring the Too Rise Up organization to disenfranchised communities. As we ourselves have experienced and risen above community and social struggles and inequities to achieve a particular level of success. Then our message and mission are clear, and we are full speed ahead in our efforts to help young men and women and struggling families to rise above the social factors that hold them down, to accomplish whatever their hearts desire.
