WELCOME TO THE ROBERT RICKS LEGACY FOUNDATION

ABOUT ME

The Robert Ricks Legacy Foundation was founded in honor of Robert Ricks a devoted family man known for his compassion, dependability, strong work ethic, and unwavering commitment to helping others. Inspired by his legacy of service and meaningful care, our foundation is dedicated to strengthening families, uplifting communities, and creating opportunities that support healing, education, wellness, and hope for future generations. Through scholarships, outreach initiatives, mentorship, and community support, we strive to continue a legacy rooted in compassion, reliability, and love for others.

CONTINUING A LEGACY OF COMPASSION, SERVICE AND FAMILY

Supporting communities through meaningful acts of care, educational opportunities, wellness initiatives, and scholarship support for future generations.

SUPPORTING FUTURE BLACK MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

One of our core initiatives is the development of scholarship opportunities for Black counseling students pursuing careers in mental health and community care.

Many counseling students face financial hardship while completing unpaid internships, balancing work, family responsibilities, and educational demands. The Robert Ricks Legacy Foundation seeks to provide encouragement, support, and opportunity to students committed to helping others through the counseling profession.

Together, we can help strengthen the future of mental health care within underserved communities.

BUILDING STRONGER COMMUNITIES THROUGH SERVICE

We believe meaningful acts of care can change lives. Whether through educational support, wellness initiatives, mentorship, outreach efforts, or family-centered community programs, our mission is to create lasting impact while honoring the values Robert Ricks lived by every day.
