We hope you can join us this Thursday at 8 PM ET to hear from Kai Banks (Mom & Community Advocate Professional), Florencia Fuensalida (Dir. of Equity Improvement – Virginia Community Voice), and Mike Kemetic (RPS Parent and Cultural Curator). This month we are going to explore how we meet the needs of kids. We will talk and explore together what we find individually and collectively important as we go about the raising kids. Come with an openness as we raise questions for ourselves to consider. We are so happy to be in conversation with everyone and hope you can join us!
STAY RVA
Supporting Together Area Youth RVA (STAY RVA) is a movement comprised of parents and neighbors who want to help Richmond’s local public schools thrive. We are a positive-minded, solution-oriented, action-based organization. We want you to be a part of STAY… STAY in the city, STAY committed, STAY open-minded. We want to build communities of support around every school and engage in honest conversations about why schools have not had the resources they need. We want to BECOME genuine community members who work to form relationships with all people.
Richmond is a dynamic city loved by many who call it home. We want to encourage people to STAY, put down roots, and get involved in their community by coming together in support of local schools. In order to be a first-class city, we must provide a first-class education for ALL students.
At the heart of who we are as a movement is a LOVE for humanity. There is a foundational belief that TOGETHER we can and should create a better way forward by supporting our local public schools.
