RPM Staff

The Mountaineer ChalleNGe Academy's Post-Residential program consists of the one-year mentoring relationship following graduation.  In order to support this relationship on an on-going basis, the Academy's Post-Residential staff work closely with the Cadets during the residential phase to help fine tune their Life Plan, or P-RAP (Post-Residential Action Plan) and will be available to support both the Cadet and Mentor during the post-residential phase.
