My Nonprofit Reviews

I volunteered with RPS for one month last year, and it was an absolutely phenomenal experience. Like many of the reviewers below, I had a wonderful time being creative with the kids and getting to know them. We did collaborative art projects, started a band, worked on our violin skills, learned Vietnamese songs and American songs together, and generally just enjoyed cultural exchange of food, customs, and language. It has been about a year since I was at RPS, and I definitely miss the energy before violin practice of all the kids getting together, eating snacks, tuning up, and talking about their days.

Not only did I enjoy working with the students, but I was thoroughly impressed with the infrastructure of the program and how well it is integrated into the community. I feel this is an exceptionally well run and sustainable non-profit with incredibly talented and dedicated Vietnamese staff, and a visionary program director who has taken the time to understand the needs of the community and how RPS can make the biggest impact. Go RPS!
