About Us
Growing up isn't easy on anyone.
Whether a teen lashing out over emotions and circumstances they don't yet understand, a mother concerned about her child's path, or a teacher struggling to bring discipline, strains can begin to show. Every day parents are challenged by their need to bring leadership and authority into their homes and families, while siblings struggle with fear and hopelessness.
Reach for Youth is a source of hope for youth, their families and the community in time of need.
We offer first-time non-violent youth offenders a second chance to get on the right track. We coax once-expelled students back from a future where dropping out seems their only option. We help youth and their families deal with substance abuse and the process of redirecting their lives and charting a fresh course.
For nearly thirty years, Reach for Youth has successfully helped kids change their circumstances and find a better way. It is a success of which we are very proud. But, we are most proud of the people who took the hard steps to make the changes that were necessary. We are proud of the kids who wrestled with their challenges and made changes in their lives. We are proud of the parents who had the courage to seek help and stick it out. We are proud of our youth and adult volunteers who give their time and talent to make everyone's efforts work. And we are proud of and thankful too our donors, collaborators and referral sources that partner with us everyday to make things happen.
