RICH’s mission is to provide high-quality educational resources, free of charge, to inner city schools in Washington, D.C. RICH operates from a pedagogical foundation that the greater a student’s academic need, the more important the experience of the teacher. RICH’s professional instructors have an average experience level of twenty years.

Making a Difference

“Working for RICH is the most important and rewarding work I have done in a long career in education. We make a significant difference in the lives of our students.”— Barbara Taylor, RICH Tutor

“I want to personally thank you for all you have done for our school thus far. Between MATHletes and the truancy interventions, you have been a constant positive presence for our students.”— Ryan Benjamin, math department chair, Anacostia High School

Closing the Education Gap

RICH student and tutor

D.C. is known as a dropout factory, with just 58% of our youth graduating from high school and fully half of these dropouts ending up in jail. Resources for Inner city CHildren wants every student to achieve academic success, graduate from high school, become a productive adult and live up to his or her potential.

In 2010-11, RICH’s educational professionals provided over 3,000 hours of instruction and mentoring to the students and teachers of the Cesar Chavez Public Charter School and the Academies at Anacostia. In the spring of 2011, RICH developed a home base at Anacostia’s Oxford Manor apartment complex.

RICH is also a source of information for all Washington-area residents, professionals and non-professionals alike, who want to advance the educational development of inner city children. RICH also coordinates with organizations that provide tutoring services, psychoeducational testing, college counseling, advocacy, occupational therapy and other educational resources.
