Student volunteers are able to travel into an environment beyond their community and create change, while also working on communication, collaboration, presentation, and leadership skills. Each school partner has a RAMPS club led by a school-based faculty advisor. Meetings are typically held once or twice a month (depending on the school). Once the funds are raised, the students are able to choose their clients from our waiting list. Clients with high medical needs are prioritized. A date is chosen that works well for clients and volunteers either during the weekend, or a weekday, and a RampsRVA supervisor meets them on-site with all the tools, gloves, and materials needed for the build.
"RAMPS has surrounded me with fellow students and teachers who are passionate about helping the community. Together, we’re able to make a difference in our community!"
