Richmond has a complicated history when it comes to providing quality education for all residents, but our scholars are succeeding despite the broader context.
We are committed to providing the resources scholars need to push themselves, including mentors, academic support, electives, field trips, and an environment where they are safe and encouraged.
Our high-dosage afterschool academic enrichment program combines individualized tutoring, mentoring, and social-emotional support for middle school youth in Richmond.
Due to COVID-19, our physical office and Centers are closed until further notice, but virtual programming continues each week!
