The Raising Education Attainment CHallenge (REACH) program at the Cornell Public
Service Center is a student-run initiative, committed to serving youths' academic
and social needs in schools and communities around Cornell University. The purpose
of the
program is to recruit and mobilize a diverse group of work-study (funded by the
America Reads/America Counts Challenge program) and volunteer tutors from the
Cornell community so that they may
have the necessary resources, peer support and leadership to assist in the enhancement
of academic achievement of children and youth in grades pre-K-12th.
Operating in over 25 sites in and outside the greater Ithaca area, from nursery
schools to community centers to juvenile detention facilities, REACH strives to
positively impact the lives of local youths through tutoring and mentoring, and
also to bring awareness of local youths through tutoring and mentoring, and also
to bring awareness of local and national educational issues into the dialogue
of the Cornell University.
