Scale Impact. Keep the Human Touch.
Organizations are built on relationships. The challenge is that high-touch programs rarely scale beyond the staff and hours available to deliver them.
​
At the same time, participants need guidance between sessions, outside program hours, and across key transitions. Funders increasingly expect clear, measurable outcomes alongside strong engagement.
REACH was built to solve this tension. It extends the reach of your programs while preserving the human connection at their core.
How REACH helps organizations scale engagement and impact
Built with youth, not imposed on them
REACH meets participants where they already are, with mobile-first, guided pathways designed with youth input. Engagement is voluntary, consistent, and meaningful, reducing the need for reminders or enforcement by staff.
Flexible by design, not one-size-fits-all
REACH can be customized to align with your curriculum, milestones, and desired outcomes, whether your focus is college access, workforce readiness, or placement. It complements your programming instead of competing with it.
Guidance that continues beyond program hours
REACH provides structured, on-demand guidance participants can access anytime. This helps them reflect, explore options, and take next steps between workshops, coaching sessions, or milestones, without adding work for your team.
Outcomes without added reporting burden
REACH tracks engagement and progress across college and career readiness activities, making it easier to demonstrate impact to funders, partners, and boards without manual tracking or new workflows.
