Reach Up

The Reach Up program serves young parents that are on state assistance.  Parents involved with this program are usually 24 years old or younger and have at least one child living with them.  Reach Up is a center and/or home based opportunity to receive training, support, education, and job skills to help parents achieve self-sufficiency.

Reach Up case managers help identify skills, interests, and goals in a supportive environment. Once goals are established a plan is written to help parents achieve employment or finish their education by assisting them with childcare, transportation and other work/school related needs.  There is financial support for preparing for work, child care costs, transportation costs, and work-related costs including clothing, tools and supplies.
