About Us

It is the mission of Rio Lightning Incorporated LLC to provide intellectual, emotional and interpersonal growth opportunities to youths and families through advocacy, education, mentoring and community outreach.

By nurturing relationships with likeminded organizations and private individuals, we're able to unlock new sources of capital and scale up our work far beyond what traditional funding can do alone.

Our Vision

Our team is committed to transparency, accountability, and making a difference in the lives of others. Through collaboration with other like-minded organizations and the support of our community, we are able to carry out our mission and achieve our goals.

How do we work?

Our non-profit organization operates by relying on the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers. With a focus on serving the community, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. We work tirelessly to raise funds, organize events, and provide support to those who require our assistance.
