Each of our Board Members have pledge their dedication and accepted the mission to empower disadvantaged and the disenfranchised; to deter youth crime and violence; the application of day one "earned" second chance intitiatives to the incarcerated and a mandate for successful post incarceration programs that promotes healthy families and restores communities.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know persons behind R.I.H.D., Inc. successes.
God Bless RIHD, Inc and it's Board.
