After the school bell rang, we officially launched the Empowering Her Success Academy, an after-school program of the Rhonda Walker Foundation in partnership with automaker Stellantis for girls in grades three through seven.

The Rhonda Walker Foundation is celebrating 20 years of empowering inner-city teen girls with stories of sisterhood, strength and transformation through the foundation’s extensive program.

Here are some positive stories to help put a smile on your face this Christmas.

The Rhonda Walker Foundation held their annual Christmas Cares Party, gifting presents and good times to homeless children and families.

The Rhonda Walker Foundation celebrates the 10th annual Give and Get Fit Health and Fitness event on Sunday, July 26, 2020 by going virtual. All registered 5K/10K participants will receive a performance shirt, medal and special discounts from our sponsors! Proceeds benefit the Rhonda Walker Foundation’s award-winning health and wellness youth programming through its five-year Girls into Women career, personal development, education and mentoring program for inner city teen girls. We encourage all participants to become a Camp I Can Champion by fundraising $250 -- the amount needed to send one teen to Camp I Can. Camp I Can is a weekend leadership and self development retreat with fun-filled activities that stress team building, self-esteem, confidence building and overcoming barriers.
