R.A.A.O.INC currently serves Greater Boston and it's surrounding communities.

Individual Mentoring: This service will provide the youth being served with a "point person" on staff. This person will be specifically assigned to the youth. They will be available via telephone to the youth outside of the program hours for additional guidance and support with decision-making and counseling. This staff member will be selected and assigned to a particular participant according to their areas of strengths and the participant's areas of needs.

Life Skills Building: In a small group setting, the program participants will engage in various workshops to help them navigate their personal and professional lives effectively. These workshops will touch on an array of topics ranging from sexual education to financial management. They will be regularly assessed on their understanding of each segment of the program. Once the youth reach a level of competency, they will exit the program and will be provided with a certificate of completion.

Youth Leadership: Upon completion of the program, youth will be provided with the opportunity to return to the program as youth leaders. Youth leaders will come into the workshops and assist the participants in obtaining a clear understanding of the program's contents.
