The Reach Foundation
Often the biggest barrier between a teenager and his or her goals is a lack of self-belief and support. To encourage this essential self-confidence Reach runs workshops, weekends away and large-scale events instilling feelings of self-belief in teenagers. Reach’s specially trained Crew of inspirational young leaders run 16 different programs for nearly 58,000 young people across Australia each year, helping them connect with each other.
Reach believes that every young person has something special to offer that is often hidden behind fear, anger or hurt. By creating an encouraging, supporting and stimulating environment, teenagers discover for themselves they can do anything they set their minds to. Independent research shows that Reach helps teenagers to decrease depression and improve overall levels of self-esteem, optimism, and feelings of control over their lives.
The Reach Foundation, a Victorian based non-profit organisation, was established in 1994 by Jim Stynes and Paul Currie.
