REACH stands for Raising Education Attainment Challenge. The REACH Program at the Cornell Public Service Center is a student initiative consisting of Team Leaders, America Reads/Counts Challenge tutors (ARCC), and volunteer tutors committed to supporting community organizations and schools serving children’s academic and social needs.

The purpose of the program is to recruit and mobilize a diverse, talented group of tutors so that they may have the necessary resources, peer support, and leadership to assist in the enhancement of academic achievement of children and youth in grades pre-K-12th.

H1N1 UPDATE #2- Ben Ortiz

Hi REACH,

Here are some developments since my last announcement:
• All sites that are "parented" by the Ithaca Youth Bureau are fully operational for work-study AND volunteer tutors. This includes:
o College Discovery Program sites at Dewitt & Boynton Middle Schools
o Paul Schreurs Memorial Program sites at Boynton MS and Ithaca HS.
• The Northeast "Kids Count" site is now allowing work-study tutors only.
• The Southside Community Center site is fully operational for work-study AND volunteer tutors.
• The Upward Bound sites in Groton HS and the 2 Elmira HS's are fully operational for work-study AND volunteer tutors.
• The Lansing Residential Center site is fully operational for work-study AND volunteer tutors.
o This is likely also the case for Gossett Res. Ctr. and MacCormick Secure Center. Those Team Leaders need to contact their Site Supervisors ASAP.

Stay tuned for more updates. Have a great weekend!
-Ben
