Our Post-Graduate Facilities Foster Civic Engagement. We Encourage All Our Students To Be Persons of Influence & to Make A Positive Difference In Their Communities & Beyond. The Members of Our Student Body As Well As Our Faculty Are Fully Committed to Social Change. Since 9/11 The Rayner Institute & The Center for Appearance & Esteem Has Instituted A Community Service Requirement. No Applicant is Accepted into Any of Our Training Programs Without Proof of Previous Volunteer Activity and/or Donations to Charitable Causes. We Are Proud of Our Students & Our Instructors Past & On-Going Contributions of Their Time, and/or Financial Resources Toward their Favored Social Causes –They Are a Tremendous Resource For Our Country & For Others Well Beyond Our Boarders.  Because Of Their Generosity, Our Students Enjoy Greater Visibility & Reputation Than Their Peers Whose Interests are Strictly Self-Serving. Their Individual Efforts Serve to Constantly Remind us How One Person’s Strength, Talent & Motivation When Purposely Applied to The Task of Helping Others Can Impact the Lives of So Many.
