Happy New Year!

It’s a new year! I’m sure many of us are more than happy to leave 2020 behind and start fresh. I wish it were that simple, but reality tells us that we will have to continue being patient with our ever changing environment for at least a bit longer. I want to thank all of our mentors for being so resilient and doing what they can to maintain a relationship with their mentee through such uncertain times. Your impact is so important.

While much of this last year has been slow, it has allowed the staff at REACH to reflect and determine where we need to focus going forward. Some of our goals this year include: enhanced virtual mentor training, a robust REACH One curriculum, monthly activities featured at The 101, and more planned “outings” (field trips, tours, etc.) for the REACH One matches.

REACH is beyond fortunate to have amazing volunteers and faithful donors that together make an impact in many youth’s lives. We are grateful for your continued patience as we navigate our way through the pandemic and we are so eager to reunite with everyone and share with you what REACH has been working on.

​Happy New Year, everyone!
