About the organisation
Reach is a for-purpose youth organisation that aims to improve the wellbeing of young people so they can get the most out of life.
The vision of The Reach Foundation is that every young person has the support and self belief they need to fulfil their potential and dare to dream. Co-founders Jim Stynes and Paul Currie's legacy endures through creative and edgy programs delivered for young people by the young Reach Crew, keeping it relevant and real.
Each year over 30,000 young people aged 10-18 experience Reach through our youth-led workshops, designed and delivered by our young crew. Our workshops are safe and supportive spaces where teenagers can share stories and experiences honestly, improve their self-awareness, and build deeper more meaningful connections. Independent research has found that Reach can improve the wellbeing of young people by significantly enhancing their feelings of meaning and engagement.
Over the past 22 years, Reach has improved the wellbeing of over 780,000 young people.
