Moving Forward
Mission
To make a positive impact on our community through health, academics, and community service.
The team at Moving Forward understands the importance of higher education and we want to set future generations up for success. We noticed that our city had limited resources to help youth achieve their goals, and wanted to help provide resources that would help them.
Moving Forward focuses consist of three pillars: COMMUNITY SERVICE, HEALTH, and ACADEMICS. Community services include park clean-ups and workshops, health includes promoting an active and healthy life style, and academics, which is the cornerstone of Moving Forward, includes the Moving Forward Scholarship Program and life-skill workshops.
VISION
We aim to show and prove that we, the community, value the future of our young people. Our project is a long term investment in the Richmond community and helping our community become healthier, ensuring families have safe and clean parks to enjoy a walk or get exercise, highlighting the importance of education, and providing tools needed to learn and thrive are keys to success we desire to share.
The importance of taking action and being the change we want to see has been our approach. We are determined to inspire participants and scholarship recipients to give back and pay it forward so that our community can continue to be empowered and uplifted for years to come.
