JCPS REACH Corps

We need YOU! REACH Corps provides members the opportunity to serve the community by working to enhance student achievement in elementary, middle, and high schools in Louisville, Kentucky.

The program is designed to provide strong mentors for students who are showing early signs of dropping out of school. All students in our program are truant and disengaged from school. Our goal is to work with both students and their families by building authentic relationships and by helping them reconnect with their school.

Studies have shown that early intervention is the key to preventing a student from dropping out of high school.

Students who are exhibiting early signs of chronic truancy need individualized early interventions that emphasize the importance of attending school. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
