Description

Orlando Rivera speaking to young woman at a Sunday morning church service at Restore Orlando. Rivera spoke about chastity, as well as how women should act and be treated in relationships. He called this the "Virtuous Young Ladies Talk." Rivera was on the Restore Orlando board from 1999 to 2001 and volunteered for many Downtown Orlando community organizations, such as the Holden Heights Neighborhood Association, the Orange Blossom Trail Redevelopment Board, and the Downtown Orlando Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA). He holds a doctorate degree in organizational leadership and is now department head of pastoral ministry at Nyack College in New York City and senior pastor at Mount Vernon Alliance Church in Mount Vernon, New York.

Created by Jerry Applebee and Polly Applebee in 1994, the Restore Orlando's after-school program organized outings such as horseback riding and helicopter rides. The Applebees were affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene in the Parramore neighborhood of Downtown Orlando, Florida.

This photograph, taken by an unknown volunteer at the program, was originally discarded, along with other similar photographs, and then found by a local resident near the Emmanuel Fellowship and Worship Center, which is located at the former site of Restore Orlando. The collection was given to the contributor, Dedra Jenkins.
