WHY WE DO IT

We believe exposing rising high school students to opportunities outside of classroom walls will help increase the size of the qualified applicant pool for college & jobs and help students to become good American citizens.

​The strategy underlying all Reach For Tomorrow summer programs is to engage students in activities which most have never attempted in order to open their eyes and minds to a world beyond their neighborhoods, families, and friends.

Years ago, a student who did not particularly care for an activity asked why we scheduled it for the whole group. Our answer was that each activity is enjoyed by and benefits at least one student in the group- we just never know which "one" so everyone participates. That logic seems to make sense to our students as everything we schedule is designed for them.

With this understanding, these summer experiences serve as a tangible outcome for student participation in an existing program such as GEAR UP, 21st Century, Boys and Girls Clubs, or any community based organization. These summer programs use resources on college campuses, federal and state entities, and various public and private agencies so students might gain a better understanding of what is attainable through education and hard work.

We seek students who have the time to change their study habits, participate in school and extracurricular activities, and create resumes for a future career in college or the work place. Thus the primary RFT focus is on students in grades 7-10 with an eye on those 2 "forgotten years" of high school, 9th and 10th grade.
While we do not necessarily concentrate on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers, many of our activities on  college campuses are STEM-based. Students return home understanding the correlation between their current academic courses and real world careers. They see for themselves why they need to take Algebra, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology during high school years and how these classes apply to future careers.

The central core of RFT is to expose 7th-10th graders to the "why" of creating a resume as they start their high school careers which includes strong academic achievement.
The central core of RFT is to expose 7th-10th graders to the "why" of creating a resume as they start their high school careers which includes strong academic achievement. This strategy enables students to meet the statement: "You can't do it until you've done it", with a variety of hands-on experiences  justifying their time in the classroom, on the athletic fields, and in the community.

​
If a school or community based program already has a preferred academic program in place, this summer experience serves as a reward for academic achievement and meeting additional metrics.  Your cohort and programs benefit by integrating our compelling experiential summer programs developed over the past two decades.
