A Grounded Experience
Jana's Story
My first Reach experience was with Grounded. The way I’d explain it is it’s for young people who don’t quite fit the standards or expectations that school places on them. They think differently, they perceive things differently – I guess it’s just about getting a bunch of people together who have been placed in a box and told they’re disengaged, or told they’re not good enough for school and that they’re not going to do well. To this day, Grounded shows them differently, just like it showed me. I now work as a Facilitator at Reach, running programs in schools and the community.
