RAMA Blueprints is about the legacy of San Francisco's Real Alternatives Program (RAP), a revolutionary youth service organization who practiced Self-Determination and empowered their generation, community and city. In 1969, Jim Queen co-founded Real Alternatives Program or RAP, a youth advocacy agency with an emphasis on community leadership development for and by San Francisco youth. Since the agency’s opening, they developed generations of community leaders. But eventually the agency closed its doors in 1999. In the 80’s, RAP created a single classroom school, which eventually evolved into a 4 year high school program. We follow the story of RAP's development as an organization and their legacy as a leader in youth advocacy, leadership development and alternatives to youth incarceration.. We follow the stories of former RAP staff, students and teens from that time, and community leaders who helped shape the tenor and fauna of San Francisco’s Mission District social service agencies. We also include eXtras to help with a deeper understanding through one-on-one interviews, commentary or our live group discussions series, Tres Generacíones/3 Voices recorded at SF's BRAVA! Women For the Arts. RAMA is produced, in partnership with or sponsored by CARECEN SF, Instituto Familiar de La Raza, Pacific Islander Resource Hut, United Playaz, San Francisco Foundation and private individual donors. The series is written, edited and produced by Darren J. de Leon and Host Socorro Gamboa. And remember "To Listen is to Heal." All Power to the People!
