Richmond City Students - Service and Learning

By providing a donation of any size you are providing a life-changing opportunity for Richmond public schools student scholars to learn through hands-on service. These students are interested in the cultural and environmental impacts of climate change and are often limited in participating in programs like this due to their socio-economic situations.

We are seeking donations to assist with transportation costs for students to travel to Guatemala this summer to work with indigenous Guatemalans facing the dire effects of climate change. All students regardless of their ability to pay for the cost of the trip are eligible to participate. The trip is a week of hard work, making connections, and learning.

Friends of RCHS, 501c3 supports the dreams of Richmond Virginia Public School students seeking to attend college which for many is breaking the cycle of poverty through education. The nonprofit provides funds and programs that enhance student education in STEAM, college readiness, family supports, scholarships, environmental stewardship, and hands-on learning and service-learning experiences for students. Students are engaged in the community including operating a neighborhood greenhouse for the food insecure and globally through programs like the Guatemalan Service Learning Program.
