Welcome to In Reach What do healthy children, high school seniors preparing for college, and families living in affordable housing have in common? They all represent children, youth and families living in Prince George's County, Maryland where there are over 250,000 children, youth and young adults (half the size of the nation's capital) between the ages of 3 and 21. Most of these "students" are living fairly healthy lives, some are struggling and still others are experiencing tremendous difficulties; regardless of their current circumstances, they all deserve the best that we have to offer. In Reach believes that all students should always be in reach of a quality education, opportunities in their communities for development and, ultimately, their dreams. In order for us to be successful at helping all students reach this goal, In Reach prepares them for college, work and life. It is our belief that when an student is taught how to be prepared, she or he will make better decisions. In Reach envisions healthy, productive and prepared young adults in every family. Join In Reach in preparing all students for college, work and life. When we support children, youth and families we all are able to live better lives.  The Just $10.00 Campaign: For less than the cost of a meal for two at McDonald's you can support In Reach. As a community-focused non-profit, over 85% of the funds raised by In Reach actually go back into the community primarily through our programs for youth.

 Read about and sign up for the upcoming Life After High School newsletter, an e-newsletter of personal stories written for high school students by young adults between the ages of 18 and 24.
Meant to be inspirational and to encourage teens to think more seriously about their future, Life After High School highlights the differences between what the writers thought life would be like while they were in high school and the reality of what their lives are really like now. If you know a young person who would benefit from this type of insight, sign her/him to receive a copy.  Who will be the first community advocate to be featured in the new Catalyst e-Newsletter? Click here to sign up for Catalyst so that you will be one of the first to know as soon as the first issue is released! |
