SERVICE &
STEWARDSHIP
As a growing youth-led organization, various mission-driven initiatives arise to address the immediate needs and interests of our refugee families.
GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND.
All refugee youth who participate in REACH receive support services to help them reach their potential and feel fully supported in all areas of their lives. A key component of REACH is to conduct home visits to meet with parents and participating youth and assess their progress in school, at home, and within their social networks.
As a growing youth-led organization, various mission-driven initiatives arise to address the immediate needs and interests of our participating families. During the COVID-19 pandemic, REACH has facilitated virtual adventure camps, bike give-aways, college-readiness advising, and garden-in-a-box or camp-in-a-box projects.

Garden-in-a-Box
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we invited REACH youths' entire households to participate in a joint effort to grow vegetables (tomatoes and green peppers), greens (swiss chard, kale, arugula), and herbs (peppermint, oregano, basil, cilantro) on their windowsills, porches, or backyards.
