Help Us Reach Our Summer Campaign Goal:

$8000 by August 31st to support RAP's Youth LEAP Program

The Youth Leadership, Empowerment, and Advocacy Program (Youth LEAP) is an exciting youth advocacy program for low-income teens in New York’s poorest communities.  Youth LEAP helps youth develop the skills and confidence they need to advocate for positive change in their lives and in the lives of their peers.  As peer advocates, young people provide legal rights information, referrals, and advocacy assistance to break barriers to the educational, economic, and health resources they need to move out of poverty.

We are still $8000 away from where we need to be in order to launch our program this fall! Our goal is to raise this money by August 31st so that we can hit the ground running with our newest cohort in September. We need your help!
