About REACH 907
We exist to strengthen children and teens in foster care. Our faith-based vision is to bring them life-changing experiences through summer programs, one-on-one mentoring and group mentoring via monthly clubs. Our next goal is to provide basic life skill classes for our teens to equip, build confidence and improve their future possibilities. We have implemented the trauma-informed model of care Trust-Based Relational Intervention and have provided community trainings to strengthen homes raising children with a history of trauma.
