Teen Responsibility, Education, Achievement, Caring, and Hope (Teen REACH)

Teen REACH's goal is to provide a safe environment with caring adult role models that will work with youth to increase academic achievement and develop the life skills necessary for future success. Teen REACH programs are open 240 days a year for at least 720 hours during the high-risk critical after-school hours. The core services provided are: - Improving educational performance which includes time to do homework, tutoring in basic skills and enrichment programs that encourage creativity. - Life skills education which encompasses training and education that promotes the development of healthy lifestyles, and encourages abstinence from risk-taking behaviors in the areas of alcohol and/or substance abuse, criminal activity, violence and sexual activity. - Parental involvement so that parents and guardians have opportunities to meet with staff to discuss their children's activities and to participate in events that strengthen parent/child bonds and community involvement. - Recreation, sports, cultural and artistic activities and arranging safe outlets for youth to try new skills and develop new interests, to build friendships, find their place in a group, and gain developmentally relevant experiences. - Adult mentors who allow opportunities for participants to develop and maintain positive, sustained relationships with adults. - Service-Learning activities that connect classroom lessons with meaningful service to the community. Students build academic skills while strengthening communities through service.
