Mission
UP RVA AIMS TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN CHILDREN FROM LIMITED ECONOMIC RESOURCES IN THE CITY OF RICHMOND AND INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS. THIS BRIDGE ALSO EXTENDS TO RICHMOND PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO HAVE ACCESS TO OUR AFTER- SCHOOL PROGRAM AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. WE WILL BUILD THIS BRIDGE BY PROVIDING SERVICES THAT ADVOCATE, SUPPORT, AND EMPOWER STUDENTS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY THAT WAS ONCE THOUGHT TO BE UNATTAINABLE. ASSISTANCE IS ALSO PROVIDED TO STUDENTS WHO HAVE PROGRESSED THROUGH THE UP RVA PROGRAM AND ARE NOW ATTENDING COLLEGE.
