About the Ride for CHANGE-Ride for HOPE™ Virginia
This stop will highlight Fort Monroe, "FREEDOM FORTRESS". Our motorcycle motorcade will culminate at Fort Monroe for a tour and presentation. The motorcade will also serve as an escort of buses (in partnership with local churches) filled with children to share in the reconnection with our history and cultural heritage. Ride for CHANGE-Ride for HOPE Foundation will aid the Newport News Court Appointed Special Advocates which teaches young people how to be advocates by example while advocating on their behalf. It is the powerful images that are being relayed to the child that are not forgotten long afterwards. The instability of a young person can have a tremendous negative impact on their education and long term ability to perform. Reconciling the issues they faced to get into the foster care situation may be difficult, but the reassurance of community support in helping them acheive their developmental goals can be comforting and rewarding in the end for all parties.
