The Capital Area Reach Program

The REACH Community Service Program is the core of the program and is based on the belief that community service teaches you the skills you need in order to succeed in life. We help young people give back to their communities by providing community service opportunities. We provide reliable transportation to and from our activities.

Garfield Terrace is a DC low income housing project where REACH provides after school and summer educational programs. With all the recent cutbacks in DC funding, these communities are unable to provide this support. REACH provides the staff, supplies, and educational programing for the families living in Garfield Terrace.

The REACH Job Training and Internship program provides extensive job training and internships for many high school and college students each year. The training takes place over an entire semester and following successful completion of the training, students are placed in internships.

GALS Mentoring Program is dedicated to mentoring adolescent girls through community service activities. The girls and their mentors build strong bonds as they work hand-in-hand on community service projects. The mentors provide opportunities for the girls to discuss and work through the challenges they face.

Boys Mentoring Program is dedicated to mentoring adolescent boys through community service activities. The boys work througout the community with their mentors and, in process, develop strong relationships with the mentors.
