RAINIER ATHLETES MISSION IS TO AFFIRM OUR YOUTH'S SENSE OF BELONGING BY INTENTIONALLY CONNECTING THEIR CORE COMMUNITY OF TEACHERS, FAMILIES, MENTORS, AND COACHES.
MENTORSHIP PROGRAM - RAINIER ATHLETES' UNIQUE WRAP-AROUND APPROACH TO MENTORING EXTENDS BEYOND THE TYPICAL MENTOR-MENTEE RELATIONSHIP. THE COMMUNITY OF TRAINED MENTORS BUILD AUTHENTIC, INTENTIONAL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN EACH STUDENT'S TEACHER, COACH, AND FAMILY MEMBERS TO FOSTER HOLISTIC SUPPORT IN ALL AREAS OF THEIR LIFE. THE RAINIER ATHLETES JOURNEY BEGINS IN 4TH OR 5TH GRADE AND TOGETHER IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE YOUTH'S THEIR FAMILY, EACH RAINIER ATHLETE CONTINUES TO BE SERVED AND SUPPORTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH THEIR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION; 9 YEARS OF DEDICATED SUPPORT. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BELLEVUE SCHOOL DISTRICT, RAINIER ATHLETES IDENTIFIES STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM RA'S MODEL OF SUPPORT. RAINIER ATHLETES RECRUITS VOLUNTEER MENTORS FROM ALL ACROSS THE COMMUNITY AND PROVIDE EACH MENTOR WITH ANTI-RACISM AND EQUITY TRAINING ALONG WITH ONGOING COACHING FROM RA'S STAFF. STARTING WHEN SCHOOL BUILDINGS FIRST CLOSED IN MARCH OF 2020, RAINIER ATHLETES CONTINUED TO COORDINATE WEEKLY CHECK-INS BETWEEN MENTORS AND STUDENTS, VIRTUALLY. SINCE MARCH, RAINIER ATHLETES COORDINATED OVER 3,000 VIRTUAL MENTOR-MENTEE CHECK-INS.
EXTRACURRICULAR PROGRAMMING - BY FULLY FUNDING THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICIPATION AND BY SUPPORTING PARTICIPATING FAMILIES WITH REGISTRATION PROCESSES, TRANSPORTATION, AND ON-GOING COMMUNICATION, RA REMOVES ECONOMIC, CULTURAL & SOCIAL BARRIERS THAT PREVENT MANY FAMILIES FROM EQUITABLY EXPERIENCING THE BENEFITS OF EXTRACURRICULAR AND COMMUNITY BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES. PRIOR TO THE START OF EACH SEASON, RA STAFF WORK DIRECTLY WITH PARTNERS (I.E COACHES) TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES FOR CREATING TEAM ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE MORE INCLUSIVE OF NON-DOMINANT CULTURES AND THUS ARE MORE LIKELY TO INSTILL A SENSE OF BELONGING FOR ALL INVOLVED. SINCE THE ORGANIZATION'S INCEPTION, RA HAS FORMALIZED PARTNERSHIPS WITH 40+ LOCAL YOUTH SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS, SUMMER CAMPS, AND OTHER YOUTH FOCUSED EXTRACURRICULAR PROVIDERS.
WRAP-AROUND COORDINATION - RAINIER ATHLETES (RA) WRAP-AROUND COORDINATION DEPENDS ON THE RA'S STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS DEVELOPED WITH LOCAL RESOURCE PROVIDERS (COMMUNITY PARTNERS). RA MENTORS AND/OR STAFF, WHO CONNECT WEEKLY WITH PARTICIPATING YOUTH AND FAMILIES, ASSESS FAMILIES IMMEDIATE NEEDS AND THEN CONNECT FAMILIES WITH ONE OF RA'S COMMUNITY PARTNERS. IN 2020, THIS PROCESS DIRECTED OVER $120,000 WORTH OF RENT ASSISTANCE, FOOD SUPPORT, LEGAL GUIDANCE, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND MORE TO RA FAMILIES IN NEED.
