In 1950, RACA was one of the first of three local chapters formed by the Virginia Counselors Association. It is an organization dedicated to meeting the needs of all of the Richmond Area Counselors who work in a variety of settings and with diverse populations. Virginia's Richmond Area includes: Charles City, Chesterfield, Hanover, Henrico, King William, New Kent, Powhatan, and Prince George count
ies, and the independent cities of Colonial Heights, Hopewell, Petersburg, and Richmond. RACA strives to be an engaging and active organization that effectively responds to local and statewide counseling issues by providing opportunities for professional training and social/networking events. We welcome as members counseling students, school counselors, and community counselors from the Richmond Area to join our chapter and the Virginia Counselors Association (VCA)!
