Chelsea REACH Program

We're launching a homework blog to help consolidate assignments for REACH participants. Check it out to see if there's a homework assignment waiting for you, or if you want to send us assignments!

Chelsea REACH grew out of a special community planning process, initiated by the Hyams Foundation, to create a new resource in Chelsea to support young people in graduating from high school with aspirations and goals for the future. Chelsea REACH was designed as a partnership between the Chelsea Public Schools and local community-based organizations and has also involved young people, parents, public officials and business leaders in its development and oversight.

REACH's six key components are:

• School Success/College Preparation
• Career Awareness/Preparation
• Family Inclusion
• Community Collaborations/Case Management
• Leadership Development and Staff Development
• Healthy Living/Skills for Life
