CAMPUS HAIR PROJECT
RBCF works directly with students on college campuses who seek to make grooming services accessible to their classmates who lack access to regular hair care. We support college students with apprenticeships, opportunities, financial support, supplies, and technical assistance concerning safety and compliance. We are currently working with a student and licensed barber, Cole Parker, from the University of New Haven, whom we support with supplies to provide on-campus grooming services.

Barber Internship Project
RBCF is partnering with Kendricks Barbershop to remove barriers for Anne Arundel County Public School (AACPS) students seeking to enter the barbering profession. Currently, 34 AACPS students must still be selected to enter their barbering vocational program. Therefore, RBCF & Kendricks will provide waiting list students with the necessary training hours to qualify for their State Board of Barbers examination.
