Our Focus
The WRAAP After-School Enrichment Academy Program promotes self-reliance and healthy lifestyles through education, mentoring and advocacy. The targeted population is identified as at-risk youth whom are latch-keyed , have low academic achievement or have some court involvement. We help children, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty by empowering people of all ages to dream, aspire and achieve.
Education
Teaching children today allows for a brighter future, one in which they can both learn and teach.
