RappCE Turns Ten — and We Want to Hear from YOU!
For ten years, RappCE (formerly RappU) has been serving Rappahannock County and surrounding areas with one clear mission -- provide residents of Rappahannock and nearby areas educational experiences that enhance knowledge, employability, and quality of life with the goal of building and sustaining a stronger community.
Now, as we celebrate our 10th anniversary, the RappCE Board is launching a “revisioning” process to shape the future of our programs — and your voice matters. Take our short community survey (button in upper right corner of our website) and share your ideas, needs, and interests.
Whether you’ve taken a Workforce Training course — like Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, Phlebotomy, or Butchery — or enjoyed one of our Lifelong Learning classes in topics ranging from Shakespeare to bird-watching – or want to express your voice about the educational needs of our community - we want to know what’s next for RappCE.
Prefer a conversation? Call 540-987-0513 or chat with one of our Board members — Matthew Black, Sarah Curry, Kathy Grove, John Kiser, Gardiner Lapham, Tim Nolan, Barney O’Meara, Anne Simon, or Eddie Sutton.
Your ideas will help RappCE continue to offer meaningful learning experiences and strengthen our community for years to come.
Let’s celebrate RappCE’s 10th anniversary by shaping its next chapter — together.
