Your Contribution Makes A Difference
Our scholars get to feel the pulse of the American spirit during this unforgettable journey to two of the nation’s most influential cities. From the White House and the U.S. Capitol to Times Square and the Statue of Liberty, students experience history where it happened—and see how leadership, innovation, and civic engagement continue to shape our past, present, and future.
This trip is more than travel. It’s an immersive learning experience designed to broaden perspectives, inspire purpose, and celebrate the milestone of completing middle school at REACH.

Supporting the Journey
This trip is made possible through family partnership, fundraising efforts, and community support. Every contribution helps ensure that all scholars have access to this transformational experience.
Why It Matters
This experience supports our mission to develop confident, informed, and engaged leaders by allowing scholars to:
- Bring classroom learning to life through real-world connections to U.S. history, government, and culture
- Build civic awareness by exploring the foundations of democracy and leadership
- Expand worldviews through exposure to diverse people, places, and possibilities
- Strengthen independence and responsibility as scholars travel, collaborate, and represent REACH
- Celebrate a major milestone as they prepare to transition into high school and beyond
For many scholars, this trip is their first time traveling outside the state—making it a powerful and lasting memory that reinforces the belief that they belong in spaces of influence and opportunity.
