We have many incredible services at the Independent Living Resource Center, and our Ready to Achieve Mentoring Program (RAMP) is one of them.
RAMP is a career focused program that uses a combination of group, peer, and individualized mentoring to help students learn about job options, set goals for themselves and identify concrete steps to personal success.
