The Richmond Cycling Corps is a local nonprofit organization that uses cycling as a tool to create engagement with youth living in public housing in Richmond’s East End. While cycling is one of our main programs, at the heart, our organization is serving disadvantaged youth who have inequitable access to enrichment programming and outreach. RCC has been at this work since 2010.
The median household income for Richmond is $45,117, while the census tracts that encompassed Fairfield Court, Mosby Court, and Creighton Court had a median household income from $11,625 to $15,126. These are the children that we are aiming to serve. Our approach has always been to provide quality, around-the-clock support for our youth. This type of support is only possible if we meet each individual where they are.
