Making a Difference for You Inc. CERC

Since 2015, MAD4YU has provided FREE tutoring, life enhancement and computer training to more than 800 under-resourced Richmond families (youth K-12, adults and seniors) with collaborations, donations, contributions and assistance of 950+ dedicated, talented volunteers. 

The name reflects its very purpose:  making a difference for you.  That is – providing the tools for success  – using computer literacy and study skills as the catalyst– to equip those who otherwise might not have access.

The acronym MAD4YU signifies the passion and unwavering commitment towards accomplishing that objective: MAD, and motivated enough to provide life enrichment services and programs – For You,
utilizing ‘MAD-ly’ committed and talented volunteers as agents of change.

We were recently featured in the Non-Profits section of the Henrico Citizen newspaper.  Please read more about the impact we are having  in our community here .

When MAD4YU was founded, its primary services were teaching computer literacy to children and seniors, and tutoring for students having difficulty learning.  It acquired a multi-room facility with donated computers, in-kind contributions and volunteers.   It evolved by responding to other client needs that surfaced. Services currently provided, but are not limited to: FREE tutoring, homework help, communication technologies, PC training, college and job readiness preparation including resume writing and online submission, personal and professional development, adult literacy, health and housing resources and social advocacy.


MAD4YU is Positively Richmond!

MAD4YU’s service users include non-mainstream Richmond Virginians who are struggling with job readiness, faltering grades, and aging - with limited access to tools needed to live fulfilling and productive lives.  These citizens come from diverse backgrounds:  elderly, youth, homeless, Veterans, immigrants, single-parent family, economically disadvantaged, learners who process differently.
