CORE MESSAGES

1. We believe that every child deserves a chance to live a full, long life; one that isn’t interrupted or ended through violence.

2. Breaking the cycle of apathy and violence in a young person’s life can happen with the right nurturing, love, safety, and structure.

3. We value and model positive, healthy relationships and good communications, because youth who know they are safe and supported, can soar to their full potential.

4. We know firsthand the power of choosing to break through the unproductive cycles and loneliness we grew up with. We created RU4C to ensure that every youth has access to the support, skills, and a strong foundation they need to move past limitations and live their successful lives.

Student Participant Testimonials

I honestly love this class, great teachers who encourage me to do better.


They have really pushed me to learn about life. I‘ve learned so many things that I wouldn’t have learned in school.

Amazing class! I learned a lot. Even though this class was mandatory it never felt like it because you all were so fun and engaging. Thank you for everything. I really mean it! The instructors are so upbeat and always bring positive attitudes.


They taught me so much in this program from drugs to proper ways to communicate basically, I know how to live life on the right track and hold my head high and I thank them for that.
