Announcement Details
Announcement Message
Reach & Rise helps youth ages 6-17 develop tools to cope with issues such as low self-esteem, family and peer conflicts, academic underachievement, and decision-making skills through a positive adult-child relationship.
Highly trained mentors meet with mentees once each week to discuss issues occurring in the youth's life while engaging in enriching activities in the community. A key feature of the program is the inclusion of parents in the mentoring process, from matching their child to an appropriate mentor to setting goals for the mentoring relationship. Youth are referred from schools, counselors, parents, and other YMCA programs.
