R.I.H.D. Youth Initiative

"A person can change his future by merely changing his attitude."

                                                       Oprah Winfrey

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.
