WE ARE REACH
Reach encourages all young people, no matter what their circumstances, to believe they can achieve.
At its core, Reach is young people inspiring young people.
WHAT WE DO
Our empowered team of young Reach Crew (15-25 years of age) run programs that instil self-belief in young people. We know that self-belief is necessary for young people to achieve their dreams.
Reach programs include a variety of workshops, weekends away and large-scale events that promote the mental health and wellbeing of young people, by supporting them to build skills including resilience and emotional awareness. It has been shown that developing these skills in adolescence can reduce serious problems faced later in life including depression, substance abuse, homelessness and suicide.
