Rapha Education And Development Program
The Rapha Education and Development Program (R.E.A.D.) is a program geared towards providing homework and tutorial assistance, recreational activities and career-related enrichment opportunities for students of all ages from Grade 1 to post-secondary. The program objectives include:
- To help improve academic performance levels in areas of identified need
- To promote the setting and pursuit of career goals
- To encourage constructive extra-curricular activities and volunteerism
- To create opportunities for social interaction in fun, positive learning environments
Students are paired with trained program volunteers based on identified areas of academic, and can benefit from once weekly or “as needed” assistance. For younger participants, parents are also encouraged to actively involved and take interest in their child’s academic development.
Additional benefits of the program have included:
- Integrating social orientation through educational field trips (museums etc.)
- Liaising with community organizations to help participants find volunteer placements
- Promoting access to professionals in careers of interest to participants through mentoring and/or job shadowing opportunities
*This program is offered based on enrollment or otherwise as needed. Arrangements can be made for special circumstances.
