Enrich, Inspire & Engage
The REACH Foundation supports learning experiences in
Arts, Academics and Athletics at PYLUSD schools.
Welcome to REACH Foundation
Where Transformation Happens
Since 2012, the REACH Foundation has been dedicated to enriching, inspiring and engaging students through Academics, Arts and Athletics programs. These three pillars offer greater exposure to 21st century learning skills, aiding students to REACH their highest potential. We take pride in collaborating with award-winning community partners who share our vision to elevate education and support PYLUSD students.
At the REACH Foundation, we create enrichment programs that foster innovation, imagination and intrapreneurship, empowering our High School Interns and PYLUSD Students to explore their interests, and REACH their highest potential.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to enrich, inspire, and engage students by providing equitable access to programs that foster 21st century skills, including communications, creativity, perseverance, and lifelong learning. Through strategic collaborations with best-in-class partners and community leaders, the REACH Foundation amplifies the resources available to students, ensuring they are prepared to succeed in school and life.
The REACH Foundation is thankful for the support of our families, community partners, educators, and the District for their generous support and partnership!
We are excited to share our exciting events and programs with you!
