RISE Resource Locator, developed by Mesa Community College students, faculty, and leadership, aims to connect Maricopa County Community College District students with essential resources like food, shelter, and healthcare. This free app is designed to assist students from various community college systems and higher education institutions in finding necessary resources to support their academic and personal well-being.

The app utilizes keyword searches to pinpoint and display nearby resources on a map, allowing users to add, move, and edit markers as needed. Custom searches and keyword filters enhance the search functionality for tailored results. RISE also offers a Kiosk-Mode setting for businesses and community resources to provide public access while restricting administrative features, catering to a wide range of users seeking assistance.
