The REACH (Ready for Education, Achievement, and Career Hopes) program is designed to equip students with the skills and experiences they need to successfully transition into adulthood, careers, and post-secondary education. Through REACH, students use strengths and interests as a foundation for future success, learn essential life skills for independent living and gain real-world experience. Community partners are opening their doors, providing students with firsthand exposure to career pathways, and college campus visits are helping students explore their post-secondary options.
