More About Us
At Raven Community Development we strive to play an active part within the community, with an emphasis on school-age children. Located on the eastside of Kansas City, MO our organization has front-row view of the basic health and educational gaps that burden both students and their families within the community. Throughout the year we sponsor one of the lowest-performing schools in the state of Missouri. Through our partnership, we have learned that a lot of the students in the community go without basic school supplies.
​
Yearly, our organization provides free health screenings, mental health awareness, HIV/AIDS education, and family resource information through our Annual Community Day. This long-standing event that we launched in 1999 has proven to be a substantial help in alleviating stressors that children on the eastside of Kansas City, MO face. A significant component of this event involves providing students with school supplies for the upcoming school year. Our goal each year is geared toward moving the community forward. In the past we have partnered with a variety of organizations to provide a day filled with community fun!
