What Drives Our Team?

Working Towards a Better Tomorrow By Inspiring, Encouraging and Supporting The Hopeless & Advocating For The Voiceless.

Rivers Of Empowerment DC, emerged to take action and address some of the highly critical issues some of the residents face here in our Nations Capital. With homelessness, at-risk youth, mental health and substance abuse being side-by-side at the top of the list.

Dealing with these challenges not only requires problem-solvers, but problem-solvers with cultural competence, empathy, patience and compassion, to genuinely understand the structural, institutional, and day-to-day challenges that our clients face. Here at Rivers Of Empowerment each and every one of our Staff not only has those qualities, they uphold our ROE Promise: To Inspire, Encourage and Support The Hopeless & To Advocate For The Voiceless.
