Our mission is to provide academically talented and highly motivated young women of color the opportunity to study at Ridgefield’s public high school. We provide educational, social, and cultural enrichment as we strive to prepare our Scholars to assume positions of responsibility and leadership in American society.
These eight young women, grades 9-12, reside in the Ridgefield A Better Chance (RABC) house under the care of the Resident Director and Assistant Director, with the guidance of RABC Board of Directors, and with support from their host families and countless other volunteers. Since 1987, sixty-two RABC Scholars have graduated from Ridgefield High School and have gone on to major universities and colleges.
RABC, affiliated with the national nonprofit, A Better Chance, operates as one of their 20 public Community School Programs and is a 501(c) (3) .
