MENTORING
Sixth to eighth graders are at the highest risk for not continuing their education. Partnering with Martin Luther King Middle School, we pair our members with at-risk kids to ensure they have the support they need to have a successful school year and a bright future.
DONE IN A DAY
Members of the JLR support other community organizations with woman-power for projects focused on women, children and families. We regularly partner with Hospital Hospitality House, Anna Julia Cooper School, Meals on Wheels, and Richmond Promise Neighborhood, just to name a few.
FAMILIES FIRST
Families First/Elementary Education provides programs, special events, and services which promote the stability and well-being of the children and families in the East End community. Members coordinate regular programs on a variety of topics including reading, self-esteem, health issues, practical life skills, and educational enrichment.Our success depends upon your support. Here are some ways you can help:
