Who We Are
RAPSA’s mission is to improve the lives of at-promise students by
providing professional development experiences for educators who work with the opportunity youth population.
The Reaching At-Promise Students Association (RAPSA) is a nonprofit organization focused on helping educators working with at-risk students. By identifying students as “at-promise,” the organization emphasizes the belief that despite obstacles, all students can succeed. Today, RAPSA is a leading professional development and networking organization for those working with the at-promise student population, and has a membership of hundreds of educators internationally, including teachers, administrators, counselors, coaches, volunteers, and community members.
