The vision for Reaching Out is to extend support services to underserved populations, fostering a strategic mindset among those in need.
Our mission is to empower youth and families to cultivate a strategic mindset that enables them to navigate life’s challenges. We aim to rebuild the bonds between families and their communities, focusing on purpose, supportive networking, and recognizing capabilities and opportunities for youth. This is done with the mindset of upholding accountability. Our mission involves elevating the potential for at-risk youth and their families by employing structured approaches and plans of action. Our mentors and coaches will aid clients in identifying and reaching their goals.
Our dedication extends to aiding clients in redirecting focus to positive aspirations. Particularly for those exhibiting specific at-risk behaviors such as poor academic progress and attendance and/or having a history of juvenile delinquency as well as other signs of instability. Another cornerstone of our mission is encouraging each client’s exploration of financial literacy and educational opportunities for financial investments; promoting financial security.
