Relationship
Abuse Prevention Program (RAPP) Peer Leaders are learning how to stop
relationship abuse, volunteering at the Center's shelters and completing
community service projects. In their "spare" time, the teen leaders
participate in fun events, like beach trips, and museum tours at the Museum of
Tolerance and LES Tenement Museum.
The
students showed off their cooking expertise and expressed their culture on
Multi-cultural day at the Center. Dishes ranged from Jamaican jerk chicken to
Spanish empanadas to Russian baked goods.
Entertainment then ensued with students acting out skits with props
given to them only moments before. It was definitely a memorable day in the
midst of a great summer.
"In
the RAPP program I experienced things that I would have never thought of doing.
This program helped me learn how to communicate with others and broke me out of
my shell. Also just the experience in being here, meeting people from different
backgrounds, associating (myself) and doing activities with them made me close
to each and every one of them. The RAPP program is an awesome experience. You
will want to do it every year."
