Refugee Education & Adventure Challenge (REACH) provides refugee youth and their families with experiential learning opportunities focused on STEAM education and adventure sports. Our mission is to inspire leadership, academic success, and connections among refugee youth through active dynamic learning outside the traditional classroom. Since we first launched in 2016, we've served more than 100 refugee youth, connecting them to their new community here in Chicago through creative integration services and leadership development activities.

REACH is hosting a fundraising benefit with silent auction to showcase our refugee youth participants' progress and expand our network of donors, volunteers, and adult mentors. The event will take place on Saturday, September 7, 2019, at Catalyst Ranch in Chicago. We expect at least 100 guests to be in attendance. The tickets would be used as a silent auction item to raise money to support our weekend adventure camps, nature play groups, and peer mentor leadership corps.
