RAPS - Rochester Alliance Promoting Science Science mentoring from Univ of Rochester since 1990, liaison between pre-college and college.
The general purpose of this project is to reach out to fifth and sixth graders to sustain their interest in the sciences, expose them to the opportunities and careers that are available, and to provide them with positive role models and mentors in science. The project requires parents, professionals and teachers to all work together to support children and youth in acheiving high impact career goals. For mentors, it can be both fun and rewarding to see a pre-teen or teen grow and learn in new ways, and gain in self-confidence. There are presently 19 city school children enrolled in the U. of R. RAPS project; we would like many more students to have the same opportunity!
