Ags REACH
About This Organization
- Abbreviation(s):
- Ags REACH
- Purpose:
- To create opportunities to give back to our Aggie community, build soft skills, host philanthropic events, and provide the unique experience of working closely alongside a nonprofit. Ags REACH will operate in partnership with local Bryan nonprofit, The REACH Project, which works to give back to the contracted, third-party workers that keep Texas A&M running.
The REACH Project provides these community members with the resources required to acquire the skills and assets needed to achieve financial self-sufficiency, build transgenerational wealth, and prevail over the obstacles preventing them from achieving their fullest potential. It aims to do this in three sectors; health, education, and housing-- all of which are areas of life in which many of our contracted workers feel gaps. Within 5 years, The REACH Project plans to implement an affordable housing village with all of these services on site for any worker or community member to benefit from. Our goal as a student organization is to provide the manpower and variety of experience to help this to happen, ultimately aiming to empower as many people in our community as possible. - Year Founded:
