ORGANIZATION MISSION
R&R Youth and Community Empowerment Organization, founded by Ron Williams, was born out of the need to set a national agenda for youth and to bless communities around the nation. The mission entails providing positive role models to educate youth and communities in the areas of financial literacy, entrepreneurship, conflict resolution, resume writing, abstinence, black history, and the judicial system. The organization also teaches churches and non-profits how to recycle monies back into their communities and organizations. .
