REACH is a student-driven and -initiated program at Cornell established in 1999 to coordinate and strengthen services provided to Ithaca area schools and community agencies. It includes REACH fellows as well as America Reads Challenge (ARC) and America Counts Challenge (ACC) federal work-study students. Fellows recruit, mobilize and organize a diverse group of student tutors, helping them gain the necessary resources, peer support and leadership skills to assist in enhancing the academic achievement of area children in pre-K through ninth grade.
