MISSION STATEMENT
The RAK Society was founded with the sole purpose of combating the ever-spreading epidemic of bullying, and self-satisfying behavior among the population of the United States. People are facing more social pressure and stress than ever before. There is negativity anywhere you look and the RAK Society was formed to do whatever it could to counteract the effects of selfishness, bullying and aggression by offering the alternative.. Selflessness and Kindness.
The RAK Society was not created to foster self-promotion, glory seeking, or recognition. A selfless act of kindness performed with the intention of getting recognition is NOT a selfless act. It is a selfish act. All members of the RAK Society are voluntary and are held to a strict Code of Conduct as well as the highest standards of moral behavior and ethics. Membership in the RAK Society is a LIFETIME commitment which means our members commit to live by the principles outlined below for the remainder of their lifetimes. The only way OUT of the RAK Society is to violate one of the principles outlined below.
