​The REACH Scholar Journey:
  • 8th grade – 12th grade programming and mentorship
  • Assigned a Center Point trained mentor and an academic coach that continues with them throughout their journey
  • Soft skills training
  • Goal setting
  • Career exploration & guidance
  • Educational field trips
6 “Pieces” of REACH:
  1. Student Commitment
  2. Parent/Guardian Commitment
  3. Mentor Commitment
  4. Academic Coach Commitment
  5. Continuation of Academic & Social Support
  6. Financial Scholarship if the scholar maintains a "B" average, attends programming and mentorship meetings, maintains appropriate attendance/behavior .
How can you help?

Hall County and Gainesville City Systems work in conjunction to procure REACH fundraising benefiting scholars of both systems.  Each $3500 donation will be matched with $6500 of public and private funds to complete the $10,000 donation that will sponsor one REACH Scholar’s college scholarship. Smaller donations are welcome.
We ensure that 100% of your tax-deductible donation will be used to support REACH Scholars by leveraging mentoring, coaching and a $10,000 scholarship.
For each new eighth grade scholar selected for the program, a $10,000 scholarship will be reserved in their name.  For every $3,500 raised in our community, REACH Georgia Foundation and state appropriations will contribute the remaining $6,500. At this time we have an immediate need for donations, sponsorships and mentors.
 
For sponsorship and mentoring opportunities, please reach out to Michele Hood at Michele.hood@hallco.org or Stephanie Cookson:  stephanie.cookson@hallco.org
