| On February 14, 2024, Reach & Rise® was featured on the Alter Eagle Podcast with Laura Crago (watch below!).
On the episode, Jessica Burr, Clinical Director of the Reach & Rise® Youth Mentoring program and Issiac, a former Reach & Rise® group member discussed the value of the program and how people can get involved. |
|
|
Issiac’s message to anyone who may be struggling is “you are not alone.” He gave three words to describe what Reach & Rise® gave him: trust, confidence, and mentoring. He said they give you such a strong bond and support. We would like to thank Issiac for stepping out and being a supportive voice for the Reach & Rise® program. We would also like to thank Laura Crago for giving us the opportunity to share information about what this program is doing for kids in Butler County. |

|
|
Are you interested in making a difference in a child’s life, like a mentor did for Issiac? You can learn more and apply to be a mentor online by clicking the button or contacting Reach & Rise® Administrative Assistant, Jerry Johnston at jjohnston@bcfymca.org or 724-287-4733 x147 for more information.

| On February 9, 2024, Reach & Rise® was featured in the Butler Eagle! The article focused on a group at Broad Street Elementary School, sharing stories from the youth, families, and mentors. One youth said about the group, “It’s a break from household chaos and it’s a break from school chaos. I just have a lot of fun there.” The child’s mother said the program has helped her son better process his emotions and adjust to becoming a big brother. (An excerpt from article linked below.) |
