Description
At Reaching Higher Ground, we promote educational achievement, community involvement and leadership ability among young people.
Our core mission is to raise college and workplace preparedness among high school students living in underserved communities. Working with students as early as 8th grade, our Leadership Academies provide ongoing learning and development year after year to build students’ self-confidence and character, and ultimately success in other critical areas of their lives. As students progress through their high school years, the program focuses on activities and workshops that lead to college acceptance and prepare students for a workplace environment.
