All of us at JRF are highly motivated, in turn, to maintain the high standards set by our namesake as we work to level the playing field in education and promote the humanitarian values that defined Robinson’s life. From our board of directors and staff to our volunteer student advisory committees, alumni, and generous sponsors, we are fortunate to have a dedicated, first-rate team to help carry out our mission.
