Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our strategic goals: #1 –Provide educational programs that promote academic and life skills learning; #2– To provide educational programs to improve the quality of life for Seniors; #3 – Raise Funds to sustain and grow impact of the Organization.

Goal #1 - This goal is accomplished through maintaining and utilizing mobile computer labs, creating an intergenerational component to the robotics program, conducting annual STEM days, supporting a competitive robotics program, and maintaining National Society of Black Engineers Jr. Chapter membership status. Further, an academic and arts focused summer camp is maintained, and an annual Black College Tour is conducted during Spring break.
Goal #2 - This goal is achieved through continued Cyber-Seniors programming with an active focus on training youth to be digital mentors for seniors. Further, grants and partnerships are sought that sustain health and nutrition initiatives for seniors to enhance their desire to participate in the Cyber-Seniors program.
Goal #3 - Efforts are continued to generate mission-driven funds through grant writing, partnerships with private sector entities that align with our mission, vision, and values. Further, an annual golf tournament is conducted that has expanded each year for the past five years with a focus on event, corporate, and associate sponsors. Future plans are for the nonprofit to integrate an intergenerational component into the annual tournament.

The organization has developed a strong support base that provides resources for operations (i.e., volunteers and monetary resources). Our support base has continually expanded over the past two years in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, the organization has no debt.

Four Rivers Outreach Community Development Corporation has continued to provide services during COVID-19 and has continued to accomplish several goals. Our Youth STEM teams (elementary and Middle) participated in the LOGO League 2020-2021 competitive cycle and placed high in the state virtual competition. The Boeing Speakers Bureau virtual program has continued to provide services every month throughout 2021 and will continue every month in 2022. In January 2022 the Best Buy Foundation partnered with Four Rivers Outreach CDC to conduct a class-room Cyber-Senior program that will engage Best Buy employees as volunteers and provide resources to support the training of youth mentors and seniors. In past months this program was totally supported with non-profit internal resources.
