The ReIMAGINE Mack Road Foundation (RMRF) is a 501(c)3 and was created in late 2013.
This initiative was driven by a Board of Directors made up of forward-thinking leaders from the Valley Hi/Mack Road community. The RMRF’s mission is to:
ReIMAGINE a healthier more vibrant place to live, shop and thrive.
ReSHAPE the quality of life for those who are in need.
ReVITALIZE an under-served and under-resourced part of Sacramento.
ReINVENT the way our community thinks about food, job creation and a better future for our youth and young adults.

Who We Are:
ReIMAGINE Mack Road Foundation was founded in November of 2013 by the Mack Road Partnership’s Board of Directors to support a community with some of the highest crime and poverty rates in Sacramento.
Our Values:
- Youth Empowerment: We believe in the great potential of young people. Many of the youth we serve have faced and continue to face serious social, emotional, and economic challenges. We believe that dedicating our time, expertise, shared experiences, and resources to underserved, at-risk youth is vital for inspiring hope and empowering them to see that they can positively affect their current situation and create new paths toward a brighter future.
- Youth Efficacy: We believe kids with a “Can Do!” attitude can and will do much more because they believe they can. We are dedicated to empowering youth with essential life and leadership skills, laying a foundation for personal accountability, follow-through, confidence, and self-efficacy as they explore new pathways to positive outcomes.
- Community Commitment: We work to build and maintain positive relationships as trustworthy mentors and advocates among the youth we serve, their families, and the broader community. We respect youth as individuals and essential community members, and we are committed to ensuring their voices, input, and identified needs actively influence our work, programs, advocacy, and community participation.
- Equity and Inclusion: We believe every child deserves to reach their full potential each day. To do this, we offer year-round access to positive youth development activities and engagement opportunities for at-risk and underserved youth. These include expanded learning options such as academic support, supportive services, enrichment activities, and earn-as-you-learn youth workforce development workshops, all within a safe community space.
Our Work:
ReIMAGINE Mack Road Foundation provides year-round prevention programs at the Mack Road Valley Hi Community Center. Our programs use positive youth development strategies to enhance academic success, improve social-emotional well-being, reduce youth violence. We make high-quality, culturally relevant, youth-centered expanded learning supports and opportunities accessible to at-risk youth living in the Valley Hi. To improve protective factors for those we serve, our Center offers academic support, expanded learning and enrichment activities, supported youth workforce development opportunities (summer program), and other supportive services. Most program services, activities, groups, and events are available year-round in a safe community environment, Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Visit the Center at 7833 Center Parkway Sacramento, CA 95823. Call 916-476-5522 for more information.
Thank you to our community partners for the continuous support and collaboration!
