Club Stride, Inc. is a non-profit affiliate of Independent Arts and Media. The organization was founded as a grassroots effort in 1997 by Chief Executive Officer, Rhonda Rochelle Renfro in response to a vision to build a strong moral fiber within youth culture that would counteract negative stereotypes and create a framework for personal achievement in distressed communities.
Our principle purpose is to empower young leaders by providing critical resources to ensure their personal success. We are built on a strong foundation of community and supportive mentoring that also provides education, training and diverse opportunities for leadership and moral development.
