Impacting Richmond

Team Up Richmond

Team Up Richmond is a 501 (C) 3 organization that provides after-school activities and academic support for boys and girls of all abilities.  Team Up Richmond uses sports and activities as the hook to expose students to academic tutoring and other positive opportunities. Participating students meet immediately after school and enjoy a safe, structured environment that promotes academic achievement, fitness, and other extra-curricular activities such as arts and culture.

The core of the Team Up Richmond program is the tutoring program. Team Up students are tutored by teachers and staff who work at the school during the day. This positive interaction allows students to develop positive relationships with their teachers outside of the classroom. All students are encouraged to participate in the tutoring, but those earning less than a “C” in any class are required to spend half of their activity time with tutors.

Funding from this year’s dodgeball tournament will assist Team Up Richmond in their efforts to provide additional after-school programming with more schools and activities.
