Post-Residential Action Plan (PRAP)

During the Residential phase of the program, the cadet and mentor begin a relationship that will help to steer the cadet through the 12-month Post-Residential phase.   In addition, the Post-Residential Action Plan (PRAP) is introduced and developed during the Residential phase.  The PRAP is a living document that will serve as a "road map" to guide graduates to a successful completion of the PR phase.

The PRAP workbook will include the following components developed by the cadet:

• Identify goals
• Review ChalleNGe placement requirements
• Examine placement options (Education, Military, Work)
• Plan for placement after graduation
• Create community living and fitness plans for after graduation

Success requires personal commitment, hard work, and a clear focus. All goals are written using the SMART GOALS format. Goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bound.
