The REECH Foundation provides students the opportunity of academic achievement and exposure to diverse areas through hands-on, innovative programs with the hope of ultimately inspiring them to reach their maximum potential and become significant contributors to society.
It was founded by Don & Lakeisha Carey to impact inner city youth by expanding their horizons to new opportunities they may not have known existed. They believe that by providing students the opportunity of academic achievement and exposure to diverse arenas, they can ultimately be inspired to reach their maximum potential and become significant contributors to society.
The foundation’s main areas of focus are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math), physical well being, health, social and moral responsibility along with vocational and collegiate preparation.
