REACH Foundation Programs
Many of our adult volunteers have students in the district. Some student volunteers have graduated while others are alumni ready to give back to their community. What we all have in common is we love giving back to the schools that have given so much to our students. We are an all volunteer non-profit, so your one or two hours of support helps make our program/event workloads a little lighter. Please add your name on our Volunteer email list and we'll reach out to you. We hope you will say yes!
