Welcome to our website. We Are R*A*M*P - Real-world Achievement Motivation Programs.

We are dedicated to helping youth in our community become more self-motivated, raise their level of self-esteem, and be academically successful.

Our Goal is to help students who are having social and academic difficulties in school in an effort to prevent them from dropping out.

• We will assist these students by being positive role models in their lives, both in and out of an academic setting.
• We will work with students to create real-world projects that will be meaningful to the students and incorporate state academic benchmarks in core subject areas.
• We will also help students use their current interests and talents as tools they can use to reach their goals.
• We will consult with significant others in a student's life, such as their parent/guardian, teachers and counselors in this process.

The end goal is to help keep the students in school, gain a sense of personal achievement and become contributing members of society.

We have a unique aspect to our approach. At this time we are using the increasing interest in skateboarding as a means to gain trust and respect from the youth we work with. Some members of our Board of Directors are skateboarders and most are certified professional educators in the state of Oregon.
