Local leaders and organizations in San Diego dedicated to serving some of the most vulnerable and under-served communities were recognized for their contributions Monday during RISE San Diego’s fourth annual awards ceremony.

RISE San Diego, which creates leadership opportunities for diverse individuals in San Diego, distributed seven Inclusive Leadership in Action Awards during an online presentation, instead of an in-person event at the Joe and Vi Jacobs Center dining hall.

The Mothers with a Message nonprofit was awarded the Restorative Practitioner award for supporting families who have lost children to gang violence or violent crime.

Nichole Rocero, co-founder of You Belong Here, a collaborative work and event space in City Heights, was awarded the Community Change Agent award, which honors an individual who creates sustainable change through innovative programs and policy platforms.
