THE RAMAPO TOOLBOX: OUR APPROACH TO CREATING ENVIRONMENTS THAT SUPPORT SUCCESSRamapo is built on the simple belief that all young people want the same things: to learn, to feel valued for who they are and to experience success.

The Ramapo Toolbox helps adults see challenging behaviors through the lens of unmet needs and lagging skills, and provides a set of strategies to help young people align their behaviors with their aspirations.

TERI GOLDBERG HOROWITZ, Board President

Putting the Ramapo Toolbox to WorkGrounded in a philosophy marked by generosity and compassion, the heart of the Ramapo Approach is a set of practical tools for creating environments in which young people can overcome challenges and experience success. These tools have been refined through decades of practice and have been validated by a growing body of research demonstrating their effectiveness. Ultimately, however, it is the clarity, accessibility and simple utility of these tools that has endeared Ramapo to so many educators and families and made our organization an unparalleled resource for training and professional experience in the support of vulnerable young people.

Over the past year, we have brought our Toolbox to many new audiences—from grandparents serving as primary caregivers to employers hoping to hire young people with disabilities—and to many new locations—from Baltimore to Boston and even Bermuda. We have also evolved internally, reinforcing Ramapo as a teaching environment in which all staff members strive to model, teach and coach the language, behaviors and skills that we promote to others.

For a growing number of stakeholders, Ramapo has become the gold standard for equipping adults with the tools they need to support success among the broadest possible range of young people. We are proud, but with a deep commitment to continuous improvement, learning from the field and being a model of excellence in all areas, we still have much to accomplish.

On behalf of the entire Ramapo team, we’d like to thank you for your support. Ramapo’s great strides forward in the past year would not have been possible without the commitment and generosity of our partners and donors. We are excited to see where the Toolbox takes us next…

Ramapo helps children overcome their challenges by creating environments in which they can experience success. We empower parents and caregivers with the skills they need to encourage and support their children’s learning and personal growth.

RAMAPO TRAININGTraining teachers and youth-service workers to transform classrooms and after-school programs into environments that foster success for all children.

“Everywhere Ramapo worked in Newark, there have been requests for more training. Because

Ramapo coaches were right there in the building, they had the chance to establish relationships

with staff members in the schools.”

a wonderful disposition now with regard to his future.”

“Working with Max has been positive all the way. I would definitely encourage other employers to use

inclusive hiring practices, as I believe this makes for a more satisfied and even productive workforce.”

TINA LIN, OWNER AT SUMMER’S PAW, LLC

“I’ve learned things like being to my job on time and remembering to set a good example for the younger kids. I’ve learned to not get stressed when campers behave in challenging ways—to just take a breath and use deescalating strategies like saying, ‘If you can be calm, we can have a positive time with another camper.’”

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

IN 2014, Ramapo completed construction on two new buildings on our Rhinebeck, NY campus.

THOMASES HALL Thomases Hall is a residential space for participants and staff members in the Staff Assistant Experience, Ramapo’s transition-to-independence program for young adults who face challenges. In this program, Staff Assistants live side-by-side with typically developing peer mentors who serve as role models and friends. The building provides these young adults with opportunities to socialize, to live and work closely with others and to build essential life skills.

SUSAN McADAM PAVILIONThe Susan McAdam Pavilion is a multi-purpose meeting center that visiting school, business and community groups and organizations may utilize during their time at Ramapo. Like Thomases Hall, this building has allowed Ramapo to keep pace with the demand for our services and provides a space for individuals in Ramapo’s programs to communicate, collaborate and continue developing strategies to promote success for all young people.

PROJECT BUDGETResidential Building $1.5 million

Multi-Purpose Meeting Space $1 million

Upgrading Existing Residential Facilities $0.5 million

TOTAL $3 million
