Reach Incorporated

Please mark your calendars: Read to Rise returns on May 7, 2026!

This special evening brings together our community to celebrate the power of literacy, honor the incredible work of our youth tutors, and support Reach’s mission of empowering young people through education and leadership. We’re excited to gather with you once again for an inspiring night of stories, impact, and community.

This spring, 20 Reach seniors will graduate high school—preparing to write the next chapter of their lives. I am excited to share that the 2026 Read to Rise will help support scholarship funds for their journeys ahead.

More details will be coming soon, but for now, save the date — we hope you’ll join us!

We’re looking for new Program Instructors! 📣

As Reach continues our mission of building stronger readers and leaders, we’re inviting fellow youth advocates and educators to join us in improving literacy across D.C. schools.

Today is Giving Tuesday—the largest day of global online charitable giving!

In 2025-26, Reach is serving 5 elementary school campuses (an increase from 4 in 2024-25), reviving the Teen Leadership Council, and expanding the Teen Publishing Project from summer into the school-year, enabling more Reach tutors to become published authors before they graduate high school!

This year, a member of the Reach, Incorporated Board of Directors and the Dexter and Lydia Manley Foundation have each pledged $5,000!

Can you help us MATCH this amount today? If we hit this target, Reach will be able to invite another cohort (a high school + an elementary school) into our community - providing vital literacy intervention to DC students. ANY contribution you make will be matched - dollar-for-dollar - up to $10,000.

When we come together as a community, our collective light shines brighter than ever.
