About the organisation
Being young is not without its struggles. Today’s world is pretty complex and young people can experience a bunch of challenges that adults might not be able to relate to. One of the biggest hurdles is just having the confidence and support to be who they want to be. There are currently over 4 million young people living in Australia, and Reach works with over 40,000 of them a year.
Reach Enterprises is a mission-aligned social enterprise arm of The Reach Foundation. It extends the incredible impact that Reach delivers in the youth space to an adult audience. Our “fee-for-service” model directs all revenue to contribute to The Reach Foundation’s ongoing financial sustainability and growth and supporting Reach’s long-term operations.
Reach Enterprises works with organisations to deliver unique workshops, key note presentations and events with social impact. Our dynamic, engaging and highly skilled facilitators are trained and informed by various evidence-based frameworks that underpin our work, such as positive psychology, CBT, NLP and group psychotherapy. Each experience we create and deliver is designed to increase employee engagement and individual wellbeing by building emotional intelligence, improving self-awareness and encouraging deeper and more meaningful connections within the workplace.
