PARTNERSHIP PROFILE
Shared goal(s): Continue or Leverage existing partnerships to meet youth needs, Directly check on the well-being of youth and families
Description:
REACH! engages with multiple aspects of the community to facilitate positive mental health and physical wellbeing of staff, students and families. REACH! runs a social-emotional session for staff on Zoom, where they do breathing exercises and check in with each other. They run several other social-emotional programs during the week for students. For fun — and a break from the loneliness and drudgery of staying at home — a school monitor who also happens to be a DJ runs an hour-long virtual dance party every Wednesday. REACH! also partners with local community organizations to provide a fresh produce farmers market on Saturdays and is a COVID testing site for the community.
