OUTREACH

PROGRAMS

By empowering students to overcome social barriers, we enable them to perform better in school and gain confidence in who they are. 

The Reach Out! Program is an outreach program where John 23 staff members go to schools during school hours to facilitate outreach sessions. The staff meets with school counselors to identify academic or social barriers their students may be faced with and then create curriculum and facilitate a five to six-week program where they address these barriers. The goal of this outreach program is to support students in becoming stronger leaders, making wise life decisions and identifying their support systems. By empowering students to overcome certain barriers, we enable them to perform better in school and gain confidence in who they are.
