Public Education Outreach - RACCAP's mission is to educate the public about positive parenting and child abuse prevention. RACCAP is committed to raising the awareness of the general public about these issues. RACCAP participates in several coalitions, as described below, to accomplish our mission of public education and awareness.
There is also a display of parenting materials which includes numerous pamphlets (click to see this listing) that are available to individuals at no cost. RACCAP will provide a speaker to make presentations on various parenting topics. (click to see the presentation topics listing) Please call the RACCAP office at (540)785-6217 to make arrangements for a speaker or display at your next event.
RACCAP is the coordinating agency for the Rappahannock
Area April Blue Ribbon Coalition.
The Coalition meets 6 times a year. Please contact RACCAP for the
