Peter Paul  Development Center : Educate the Child. Engage the Family.  Empower the Community.
Peter Paul is an outreach and community center serving Richmond’s East End. Founded in 1979 by John Coleman who was a local East End resident, parent and activist, it is the oldest community-based agency which continues to serve East End children and families. The PPDC was housed in the parish hall of St. Peter’s until 2007. After that time, a 5000 square-foot facility was erected across the street from the church. They continue to use St. Peter’s facilities for weekly worship and other programs. To learn more, visit the PPDC website.
