What does JRBG mean in COMMUNITY

Judge James V. Riddel Boys and Girls (JRBG) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment for young boys and girls in the community. Our goal is to help children realize their potential, build self-confidence, and become responsible citizens. JRBG serves youth ages 4 through 17 and is committed to providing quality care and educational opportunities to all of our members.

Parents or legal guardians can apply for membership either online or in person at the administrative office located in Washington D.C. Once the application is complete, we will review it and see if your child meets the eligibility criteria. If so, then an intake meeting will be scheduled where additional information about your child's personality, goals, interests, etc., will be discussed further.

At JRBG we provide a wide variety of activities designed to meet each child’s needs in areas such as academics, mentorship/tutoring services, physical fitness programs, advocacy workshops and summer camps among many others!

Each chapter holds weekly meetings on Tuesday evenings from 6 PM - 7 PM during which members discuss current topics such as bullying prevention strategies or tips on how to handle difficult conversations with peers; we also discuss upcoming events and activities that will be taking place at JRBG chapters both regionally and nationally over the coming weeks/months.
