Our Story

BriElle Bryson founded AROSE in honor of her late mother, Alicia Rose Pruitt. Despite growing up in a low-income community, Alicia showed BriElle that with education and perseverance, she could accomplish anything, no matter the circumstances. BriElle knows firsthand the impact that various traumas can have on young adults furthering their education and evolving in their professional careers. Youth who experience trauma become fragile but aren’t broken. Without the proper help and support, they can lose their way. AROSE is dedicated to helping youth envision a world beyond their neighborhoods and achieve post-secondary success.
