Join the Richmond Chapter at Riverrock!


Come volunteer at Dominion Riverrock with the Richmond Chapter. We will be working at the Start/Finish line for the 5k on Friday, May 13,  from 5:30 to 7:30. There is so much going on at Riverrock! Kayak jumping, big air dogs, and bands galore. Stick around after the 5k for concerts from Big Gigantic and Perpetual Groove! And don't forget, this is a Sportsbackers event, so that means it will be well run, and they always take good care of their volunteers. Email us if you are interested in helping out.

1st ever Alumni Showcase a huge success!


On April 1st, over 30 alumni came back to the Governor's School to share their experiences with the current students. Groups focusing on topics like law, international studies, medicine, education, and non-profit work took turns in the various halls of the school.

Mr. Waller recently said "The feedback I have received from both teachers and students has been tremendous, and it was a wonderful testament to our school and our alumni." Thank you to all of the alumni who participated, to the school for taking a whole day out of the schedule to make this happen, and to the organizers from your Richmond Alumni Chapter who brought it all together (Sana Khalid, Caroline Morris, David Holland, and Sid Dante).

Service project at CARITAS Furniture Bank


On March 26, the Richmond Chapter volunteered at the CARITAS Furniture Bank on Richmond's southside. We assembled furniture and did some light landscaping. You've never seen such handsome chairs and bookshelves! Thanks to Karen Stanley, Executive Director of Caritas and current G-School parent, for having us there!
