Reech

REECH offers an adulting program for Teens And Young Adults (TAYA) who are aging out of foster care by providing housing, life skills education, career/job preparation, counseling, and a support system. REECH will supplement the Preparation for Adult Living classes with three signature programs: (1) monthly "Talking About Real Life" group discussions with distinguished local leaders, (2) annual "Suits and Sneakers Gala & Talent Extravaganza" where TAYA are presented to society as resilient overcomers who are ready to be productive citizens, heads of households, and exemplary employees and/or entrepreneurs, and (3) annual "Rolling YOUniversity Higher Education Texas Tours. Since foster care TAYA are eligible to attend colleges that are supported by the State of Texas tuition- and fee-free, these tours will greatly improve the dismal 3% college attendance rates that foster care TAYA currently show.
