Smith Hill YouthRAP
Our Purpose
The Smith Hill YouthRAP (Youth Resident Activities Program) is a program offered to youth living in the Renaissance II, Smith Hill Visions and Smith Hill Visions II low-income, affordable housing developments in the Smith Hill neighborhood of Providence, RI. Through the program, the youth are given school year and summer-time programming. We offer homework help and other educational activities during the academic year, after-school program; and also offer daily summer activities and a Teen Employment program over the summer months. We strive to create a program that is interesting, fun, and educational for our youth. YouthRAP’s mission is to provide our youth with job-readiness skills, employment opportunities, leadership development, self-esteem awareness programs, and the academic support to become successful, contributing members of society.
