Four River Community Development Corporation (4RCDC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the mission of strengthening families and enhancing lives. Our vision is to bridge the gap in the lives of people through providing social services and activities that kindle and promote the potential talents in the lives of youth, adults, and seniors that reside in the Tri-County region of South Carolina. The Tri-County region of South Carolina is comprised of Berkeley, Dorchester and Charleston Counties.

K-8 STEM/STEAM Initiative

During the school year several programs are offered, to include Coding Classes, and LEGO League Robotics Team Competition. These programs provide an interdisciplinary approach in targeting youth in grade levels K to 8 through applying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in an engaging context to develop literacy and the ability to compete in the new economy.
Coding classes are held in the Fall for K5 – 3rd graders.
Robotics team competition training is targeted for children in grades 4 – 8 in the Spring.
This program is supported in partnership with the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE).
VIRTUAL STEM Series:
Four Rivers volunteers host monthly Virtual STEM sessions for children in grades k-8. These sessions are in partnership with Boeing and Roper St. Francis Hospital. During the sessions the children complete a STEM project and are guided by the Boeing, Roper St Francis and Four Rivers volunteers. The sessions are held via Zoom.

Our name comes from the number of rivers that flow through the geographical area we serve; the Wando River, the Cooper River, the Ashley River, and the Stono River. The inception of a river is similar to human life. “Rivers start slowly . . . quietly and learn to crawl along in meandering fashion before they take off down a hill, eventually building up to a roaring, noisy life pouring down the side of a mountain.” Our name characterizes four imaginative rivers that symbolize life enhancement and embody our vision of Enriching, Transforming, Bridging (the Gap in the lives of people), and Sustaining (their success).
