Project Overview 

The Four Rivers Project, a non-profit organization was established in October of 2014. Our mission is to reduce recidivism by  serving disenfranchised men and women affected by social, economic, criminal justice, and educational deprivation through various agency programs, community resources, and funding sources. The overall goal is to improve the quality of life for those who lives we touch and change through community service resource, referral, and outreach efforts. The executive director, Mrs. Lana Pressley, has over thirty years in non-profit agencies and over fifteen years in non-profit management. The work of the agency is done by a trained volunteer corps. Moreover, t
he board of director’s and advisors are committed to the organization’s program development and growth. 
​

Our goal is to improve the quality of life for those reaching up to a higher standard socially, economically, educationally, and spiritually. Furthermore, we believe our city is a better place to work, play, and live. We are better together.  In addition, our work is primarily facilitated through partnerships and collaboration efforts. We arrange a series of sessions, workshops, training, and one on one coaching in life skills, employment, job training, and entrepreneurship.
