RICH Director Paul Penniman accepts a plaque in recognition of RICH’s growth and development in 2008. RICH has more than doubled its services to inner city schools since partnering with Fair Chance. Fair Chance partners with D.C.-area nonprofits that serve children, youth and families to help them increase capacity and strengthen their organizations.
What if I told you that Washington, 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.
This year, RICH's seventeen education professionals will provide
over 2,000 hours of instruction and mentoring, free of charge, to
the students and teachers of the Maya Angelou Public Charter Schools
and the César Chávez Public Charter School for Public
Policy. Encouraged by the positive results in these inner city school
communities, RICH is committed to expanding these services in the
coming years.
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.
