About our Family

The Roper Academy Alumni Association (RAAA) has chosen a family for this year’s adopt a family holiday drive. The family includes a mother and her two school-age daughters who are receiving support from a local organization.  Over the past year, the family is processing their trauma and shifting to a homeschooling lifestyle. The mother works remotely full-time while homeschooling her children and managing her own health challenges. It has been an incredibly difficult year for this family, so we look forward to sharing extra light and love this holiday season.

Note from the Board:
We are all truly grateful to be part of such an amazing group of people who have dedicated their careers to serving and supporting victims of crime. Thank you for the work you already do every day and for considering a contribution to our Adopt-a-Family gift drive. Have a wonderful !

                ~  Most sincerely, RAAA Board members

CELEBRATING 22 YEARS!

The purpose of the RAAA is to provide a vehicle by which Alumni may assist in the attainment of the goals set forth by the Academy. As such the goals of the Alumni Association are:

1. To build a network for victim service providers.
   
2. To establish a mentoring program for Association members, to include victim service providers new to the field as well as seasoned providers.
   
3. To assist with identification of training needs at both the basic and advanced levels.
4. To expand and enhance the level of professionalism within the victim services field.
5. To establish non-profit status for the Association

As such, the Alumni Association has created a set of committees designed to support these goals. A description of each committee is listed in the left-hand column.  RAAA welcomes the active involvement of its members and as such is always looking for more Alums to serve on these committees so they can share their talents and knowledge with their fellow peers.
