The PRD2BME foundation started as grassroots activities developed by the late April A. Carter. As an educator, Ms. Carter developed programs geared to building confidence, pride and courage in students from middle school age to young adults. The Foundation continues the work started by April Carter based on the belief that many youth in the DC Metropolitan Area lack meaningful guidance in developing effective life skills, navigating career challenges, and making good choices in charting a path to success.
