Redford AnimAction Project: It's a RAP!
RAP! is an educational outreach program geared toward youth and dedicated to raising transplant awareness. The overall goal of the workshop is to create an experiential and interactive forum for target groups of students who personalize organ & tissue donation awareness choices. During the 2-day workshop, students will be involved in a collaborative process of talking, thinking, and exchanging ideas as well as interactive problem-solving to develop their animated messages.

Ryan will be an online celebrity judge for the animated Public Service Announcements (PSAs) the students produce.
