MISSION & PURPOSE
RIHD Youth is a non-profit, all volunteer group dedicated towards providing needed services and programs through innovative approaches that deter criminal behavior by young people in high-crime, high-risk communities, and/or with an incarcerated parent/provider.
RIHD Youth provides information, referrals to and for youth and their families as a deterrence and preventive to drugs, gang activity and crime activities.
Our goal is to provide a year-round youth after-care enrichment program providing introductory non-traditional sports, motivated literacy, life experiences and community service with a nurturing and structured team environment to young people from economically disadvantaged households throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.
RIHD is a member of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Richmond Gang Reduction and Intervention Program (GRIP); serving on the Prevention and Reentry Committees.
