When you enter the Neighborhood Resource Center in Fulton Hill, you might be stopped immediately by a young entrepreneur who is raising money for a school project.

If you veer to the left, you should see a computer room where local teens enjoy hanging out.

You should also notice a sound-recording room on the opposite wall of the entrance, something included as a means to teach songwriting to the children of this neighborhood. They learn the entire process and are rewarded with their own recordings.

The general goal?

To provide a productive after-school outlet for creativity in the younger generation.

And for those who work there?

The meeting was part of the process of getting a community blog going for the area, to get folks involved and get the word out.

The main force behind this is VCU, working from a grant. nbc12 and the RTD are partnering with the the NRC and VCU on this endeavor. As part of their support, nbc12 provided the community center with 12 new computers.

Jeff South from VCU showed 4 local news blogs, including the Richmond’s own Church Hill People’s News and Carver&Jackson Ward News. Bridgette Huff overcame a slow network to show how easy it is to post stories to the site. The site is still in development, and the name is still open for discussion.

Contact the Neighborhood Resource Center if you are interested in helping with the site or learning how to be a neighborhood reporter!
