In partnership with Two Rivers Charter School…

Nestled in the fast-growing area near the Union Market District, NoMa, and Gallaudet University, Fourth Street School embraces the idea that the community is the classroom. Their strong sense of crew sets them apart, as they live out “We are crew, not passengers,” strengthened by meaningful service to others.

… and NoMa Business Improvement District

The NoMa Business Improvement District (NoMa BID) is the driving force behind the transformation and vitality of one of D.C.’s most dynamic neighborhoods. The BID is dedicated to enhancing the overall quality of life and economic vitality of the NoMa neighborhood through innovative programs, strategic partnerships, and community engagement initiatives. The NoMa BID was created by the Council of the District of Columbia and Mayor in March 2007. The NoMa BID is funded through a special assessment collected from property owners within a 35-block area.
