ماذا او ما
نحن نفعل.
يتكيف نموذج REACH مع التعلم التجريبي ، والتنمية الإيجابية للشباب ، والعلاج البيئي ، ومبادئ التعليم في الهواء الطلق لإلهام القيادة والنجاح الأكاديمي والتواصل بين الشباب اللاجئين.
المنهجية .
تسهل ممارستنا الانتقال التثاقفي للشباب اللاجئين من خلال دعمهم لبناء روابط قوية مع وطنهم الجديد ، مع تزويدهم أيضًا بفرص لتحصين هويتهم الثقافية ومشاركة تجاربهم مع الآخرين. من خلال تنفيذ برامج التعلم السياقية التي تعزز المرونة ، تساعد REACH على دمج الوافدين الجدد في نسيج مجتمعاتهم الجديدة. إن التحولات المتكررة في سياسات اللاجئين والمهاجرين والدعم تجعل جهودنا لتلبية احتياجات الاندماج للشباب اللاجئين وعائلاتهم أكثر أهمية. يركز عملنا على تطوير رأس المال الاجتماعي ، الذي يعزز التحول من الوضع الهامشي الذي غالبًا ما يحتفظ به اللاجئون الشباب وعائلاتهم.
يدمج نموذج ريتش التعلم التجريبي ، والتنمية الإيجابية للشباب ، والعلاج البيئي ، ومبادئ التعليم في الهواء الطلق لإلهام القيادة والنجاح الأكاديمي والروابط بين الشباب اللاجئين.
يدور برنامج ريتش ، في جوهره ، حول ربط الناس بشبكة دعم أوسع. نقوم بتنسيق الشراكات مع المهنيين المحليين في مجالات الأحياء وعلم النبات والبيئة والحفاظ على البيئة والجيولوجيا والهندسة والفنون المرئية والأداء والوسائط الرقمية والتكنولوجيا وغير ذلك ، الذين يشاركون خبراتهم ويسهلون اتصالات أوسع. يطبق المشاركون في "ريتش" مهاراتهم ومعرفتهم الجديدة من خلال مشاريع خدمة المجتمع التي يقودها الشباب والعروض التقديمية للأقران والعامة.

Adventure Camps
REACH offers youth between the age of 10 and 18 the opportunity to participate in fun and challenging outdoor adventures during out-of-school time throughout the year. Youth engage in weekly or monthly day-camps, overnight tent camping and extended sleep-away trips with adventure sports and place-based education activities such as: mountain biking, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, skiing, ice skating, snow tubing, climbing, archery, fishing, forest restora-tion, river clean-ups, and more. Youth participants develop technical skills as well as team building skills throughout the year and get to show off their new learning at our family picnics and award ceremonies.

Leadership, Service, & Stewardship
Our Service & Stewardship project is designed to encourage refugees to give back to their new communities while also developing leadership skills and understanding environmental stewardship.
Participants engage in service projects such as park cleanups, community gardens, political advocacy, speech-making, and other volunteer opportunities that benefit their new communities. Through this initiative, we aim to instill a sense of ownership and connection to their new homeland, and demonstrate how they can make a difference, both locally & globally.
Family-Focused
Eco-Experiences
REACH families, parents and siblings related to registered youth, engage in monthly ecotherapy and adventure sessions, including age-appropriate experiential learning activities focused on nature, the environment, and exploration. With this framework, REACH youth and their parents and siblings can discover the environment and explore their own play, with both nature and each other, and share information and connect with other parents of children in the refugee community. Parents are introduced to accessible locations where they can take their whole family, as particular emphasis is placed on the power of “exploring our own backyard” by visiting local parks and absorbing the different ecosystems that our local community offers.
Trek-2-Success
(college readiness)
Trek-2-Success is an empowering program designed for older refugee and asylum-seeking youth, providing them essential tools and resources to explore college and career opportunities. Through engaging tours of educational institutions and insightful interviews with REACH alumni and professionals, participants gain valuable insights into various pathways to success. This program not only focuses on academic and career exploration but fosters confidence and leadership skills, ensuring that youth feel supported as they navigate their futures.
Compass
(young adult 18+)
As REACH participants age out of our normal programming, we don't abandon them. Our new Compass program is designed to keep young adults connected to us while providing an open ear and helping hand to ease the transition into adulthood.
