OUR VISION
W.R.A.P. Radio was originally designed to be the online “Information Station” for the specific community of Kent, WA. The station also includes the social media components of YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Podcasting. The multi-media component is designed to utilize each of the other R.A.P. components participants and community to be informed and of community, events and activities and important news. R.A.P. has invested thousands of hours building trust capital in the community and have a strong understanding of the gaps that impact the under-served community and the community at large. Our research demonstrated that the community is at the nexus of the national example of suburban poverty. This also includes a distinction of having a student population where low-income people of color are the majority.
