Welcome to REACH!
Find your community. Find your fun.
About REACH
A full and balanced life includes both meaningful work and opportunities for connection, recreation, and personal growth. That’s where REACH comes in.
REACH is designed to help people with disabilities discover new activities, build friendships, and engage in their communities in ways that bring joy and fulfillment. Whether through hobbies, sports, creative pursuits, or social events, REACH supports individuals in finding spaces where they truly belong.
Why REACH?
Everyone deserves access to activities that bring fulfillment outside of work. Life’s all about the people we meet, the experiences we have, and the communities we build. REACH makes it easier to explore interests and become part of a vibrant, welcoming community.
