Richland Academy Parent Ambassador

At Richland Academy, we believe in the power of community and collaboration, and we are excited to invite you to become a part of our Parent Ambassadors team.

What are Parent Ambassadors? The Parent Ambassadors are a dedicated group of parents who play a vital role in supporting our school’s fundraising initiatives. We understand that your involvement in your child’s education is essential, and this is a wonderful opportunity for you to make a meaningful impact.

What We Do: Throughout the school year, our Parent Ambassadors meet a few times to discuss and plan fundraising initiatives. These initiatives are crucial in enhancing the educational experience for all our students. The funds we raise go towards projects and programs that benefit every child at Richland Academy.

Mission Statement

The Richland Academy Parent Ambassador (RAPA) supports the school’s mission through parent engagement, ongoing communication and strong partnership.

What's New this Year?

In addition to our regular meeting to discuss fundraising initiatives, we will be actively involved in community outreach programs.  As parent Ambassadors you will have the opportunity to lead by example in our community through various activities such as Community Service, Environment Initiatives, Mentoring, Cultural Exchange. All of these items mentioned will be making a tangible difference within our community and in the broader community.  We wish to inspire our children by being examples of compassionate engaged citizens.
