Mission and programs · 2024

• CULTIVATING ADVOCATE LEADERSHIP A CORNERSTONE OF RAP'S MISSION IS FOSTERING STRONG LEADERSHIP WITHIN THE RECOVERY COMMUNITY. IN 2024, THIS WAS ACHIEVED THROUGH TWO PRIMARY AVENUES: ROBUST STATE ORGANIZING TEAMS AND THE INTRODUCTION OF THE PERSONALIZED RECOVERY ORGANIZER COACHING (ROC) PROGRAM. - STATE ORGANIZING TEAMS: RAP SUSTAINED DEDICATED ORGANIZING LEADERSHIP TEAMS IN 14 STATES, INCLUDING ONE NEWLY ESTABLISHED TEAM THIS YEAR. THESE CORE GROUPS WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN IDENTIFYING AND ADVANCING GRASSROOTS COMMUNITY INITIATIVES AND LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES SPECIFIC TO THEIR STATES. THE TEAMS CONVENED FOR A TOTAL OF 106 STRATEGIC MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MAINTAINING SOLID ENGAGEMENT WITH AN AVERAGE ATTENDANCE OF SEVEN LEADERS PER MEETING. INTERESTINGLY, A TREND EMERGED WITH MORE TEAMS CHOOSING TO MEET MONTHLY RATHER THAN BIWEEKLY, SUGGESTING A POTENTIAL SHIFT TOWARDS MORE IN-DEPTH, CONSOLIDATED PLANNING SESSIONS. THE FOCUSED EFFORTS OF THESE STATE TEAMS SUCCESSFULLY INSPIRED 691 NEW INDIVIDUALS TO BECOME ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN RAP'S DIGITAL ADVOCACY CAMPAIGNS WITHIN THOSE REGIONS. - RECOVERY ORGANIZER COACHING (ROC) PROGRAM: RECOGNIZING THE VALUE OF INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORT, RAP LAUNCHED THE INNOVATIVE ROC PROGRAM. THIS INITIATIVE TRAINED 18 COACHES, EQUIPPING THEM WITH ESSENTIAL SKILLS LIKE ACTIVE LISTENING AND MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING TECHNIQUES. THESE COACHES PROVIDED TAILORED GUIDANCE TO FELLOW ADVOCATES REQUESTING SUPPORT. COMMON AREAS FOR COACHING INCLUDED STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME SPECIFIC ORGANIZING BARRIERS, NAVIGATING ADVOCATES TOWARDS RELEVANT RAP TOOLKITS OR ONLINE RESOURCES, ADDRESSING CHALLENGES LIKE VOLUNTEER FATIGUE OR ADVOCACY BURNOUT, AND EFFECTIVELY INTRODUCING NEW ADVOCATES TO RAP'S EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES, SUCH AS THE RECOVERY ORGANIZING CLASSROOM. THIS VITAL NEW PROGRAM FACILITATED 18 COMPLETED COACHING SESSIONS DURING ITS INAUGURAL YEAR.
