2019-2020 Programs 

During this academic year, In Reach is focusing its programming on community-based activities including:

Whole School Initiatives that provide early grades support, grade level adoption, and supporting school functions that promote literacy.

STEM Unplugged

In Reach is committed to broadening STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) conversations to include the needs of minority and other under-served students in having access to STEM opportunities.The STEM Unplugged Teen Café promotes exploration, stewardship and inquiry into everything STEM. The monthly cafés engage students in interactive, hands-on activities that demonstrate an active participation in STEM learning opportunities, increased curiosity about STEM topics and concepts, and support the exploration of STEM professions.

In Reach is a member of the national Teen Science Café Network, TSCN, a community of practice providing the highest quality resources and support to organizations who implement a Teen Science Café.
