Founder of RAP, Inc.
Ronald “Ron” Clark
When Ron Clark arrived in Washington, D.C. from Los Angeles in the early 1970s, the city was facing a devastating drug epidemic. He believed there had to be a different way — treatment that recognized the dignity of the individual and the whole person: mind, body, family, culture, community, responsibility, and hope.
His Vision. Our Mission. Their Future.
