Remember Us Urban Scouts

RUUS's mission is to serve as a hub for connecting resources and services to youth and their families. RUUS's vision is through intentional partnerships and programming, Urban Scouts youth are equipped to enter a career field of their choice or create their own business. Youth will create generational wealth, break cycles of poverty for their families and communities, and be the change needed in their communities. We launched in 2020 with our Covid Response for the youth to provide jobs, social-emotional learning, and community engagement. Since our launch, we have served over 80 youth in our programs and over 300 families in our community engagement efforts from free food, voter engagement, to bicycle rides.

Provide a safe space for youth development in the areas of life skills, school assistance, and exposure to opportunities. We also offer specialized training in Mowing &Trimming, Braiding & Shampooing, and customer service. All youth also participate in social-emotional learning support groups facilitated by licensed counselors and Columbus Public Health. We also provide a cycling program aimed to educate young cyclists on safe cycling and provide community bike rides throughout the community.
