Last school year (23/24), our Neighborhood Snakes & Reptile programs served 1,682 students at Richmond public schools, programs that were free of charge to the schools and students. This was possible with the incredible support from the ECIA Community Grant Program, the Richmond Fund for Children and Youth (RFCY) and supporters like you!
