- RELATIVES AS PARENTS PROGRAM (RAPP)
UWNEK Relatives As Parents Program (RAPP) is a community of individuals and families working together to encourage and inform grandparents and other relatives who have taken on the responsibility of surrogate parenting due to the absence of the parents.
RAPP is funded by United Way of Northeast Kentucky. Sessions are approximately 1 hour in length and are comprised of a meal, resources, and community speakers. This program houses relatives/grandparents from the Ashland Independent School District, Fairview School District, and Boyd County School District.
Workshops typically take place in September, November, March and May.
