About us
Reach imagines being able to transform the marginalized Brooklyn communities surrounding the REACH Center.
core values
Our model is built on the four core values of Reclamation, Restoration, Reconnection, and Renewal. These values are at the heart of our organization and serve as the foundation for all of our work.
reclamation
Providing opportunities and programs that help participants reclaim their lives from the impacts and consequences of injustice, oppression, and exploitation by equipping them with skills, knowledge, and experiences.
restoration
Restoration results from a commitment to reclamation. It is a progressive process of breaking down of walls of systemic and personal oppression and injustices, growth and healing from areas of previous captivity.
reconnection
Through all programs, creating for all constituents the opportunity to develop productive, healthy, and meaningful relationships that lead them to deeper growth, wholeness, and the pursuit healthy connections.
Renewal
Renewal is a continual individual growth process obtained through a commitment to continued reclamation, restoration, and reconnection. A life of renewal builds the intentional pursuit of new areas of reclamation.
