Ridgefield
A Better Chance
Empowering Minds for a Bright Future
Our Mission
Ridgefield A Better Chance (RABC) provides 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.
Our Scholars live together in the RABC house while attending Ridgefield High School, gaining the tools and experiences they need to excel in college and beyond.
