REACH connects students and working families to real-world opportunity and leadership.

The Challenge

Too many students graduate without the real-world skills or human connection to lead with purpose.

Too many working families face systemic barriers without consistent, relationship-based support.

When education and everyday life are disconnected, we lose potential — in people, communities, and entire generations.

Our Solution

REACH bridges the gap between learning and life.

REACH students work side-by-side with working families who support campus life to create meaningful change — from financial stability and upward mobility to wellness and leadership development.

Being a REACH student leader is one of the most important achievements of my undergraduate career and something that made my college career truly special.

I was able to buy a beautiful, spacious home..when I had been discouraged from achieving that goal..This program is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. I'm blessed to have been a part of it.

REACH helped me learn how to repair my credit. Because of my budget coach I now have a savings account, and a better credit score … 50 points better!

The learning that you will receive, the benefits, all the fellowship, the love, the feeling like family. It is like no other program I have ever seen. I now know that anything is possible.

My favorite part about my REACH Fellowship was being able to know the families on a personal level. REACH has given me so much, and I want to continue to give back in any form I can.
