Reach Up is a program developed to surround at-risk middle school students with the support and resources they need to overcome the specific challenges that prevent them from thriving.  The Reach Up program coordinator and volunteers work with at-risk Conway Middle School students, enabling them to improve in their scholastic performance, and to grow in a number of positive ways.  The Reach Up afterschool program was launched in the Spring of 2011.  See More about Reach Up.

Volunteers Needed to Help Students with Homework

Reach Up needs volunteers to help the students with their homework.  You don't even have to remember your middle school math to help!  Some of the help needed is sitting with a student while he or she is using the computer just to keep an eye on things or working with them with flash cards.  If you are good with math, there are many students who need help with that.

We really need volunteers to make this program successful.  We're very flexible.you can choose the amount of time you want to spend whether it's one day a week or one day a month or anything in between and whether it's from 4 to 5 pm or 4 to 6 pm.  For more info, see Be a Volunteer!

Food Donations Needed

To help the students do their best while they are studying at Reach Up, we provide an afterschool snack everyday.  In addition, our goal is to send each student home with some food for the weekend.  For info about what food is needed, see Donate Food.
