Our REACH program targets at-risk youth
in the Durham and surrounding areas. REACH stands for Reaching Every At-risk
Child. The program provides students with extra-curricular activities to
enhance scholarship and self-esteem. Students accepted in the program have individual needs assessed. Each student receives individual attention needed to strengthen the skills where they are weak. Students have access to computers and the Internet. The REACH program gives
students the needed boost to compete with others students in the academic arena.
Many of the youth in the REACH program come
from the inner city communitites.
HGCOM provides transportation, snacks
and all necessary materials needed.
The ultimate
goal of this program is to assist in decreasing the drop out, juvenile crime and teen pregnancy rates within
our community.
