REACHING OUT FROM REACH & RISE® |

|
Summer groups are in full swing at Reach & Rise® and we are having a blast! Groups are getting creative, learning about boundaries and how to be respectful of others.
We have guest speakers coming in to teach mentees about communication skills and how to make crafts with a Cricuit. Our Butler group will be taking field trips to the Butler Little Theatre and Pullman Park.
Youth who join Reach & Rise® benefit from new learning opportunities, meeting new friends, increasing their support system and experiencing new, fun activities. |

|
We will begin taking applications for our fall groups in August. Fall groups occur at the following locations: Karn City High School, Rose E. Schneider Family YMCA, Broad Street Elementary School and Butler YMCA.
For additional information, contact Jerry Johnston, Reach & Rise® Administrative Assistant at jjohnston@bcfymca.org or 724-287-4733 x147.

"Two years ago, I (Jess) attended a conference on Emotional Poverty. The presenter shared a shocking statistic that has stuck with me as a parent and as the director of a mentoring program. 'On average, parents spend 14 minutes a day in quality conversation with their children.'
I thought about this statistic in my own life and how that number can fluctuate lower or higher depending upon each child’s home situation. Many children are searching for an adult that can provide them with the undivided, positive attention that they need. This time can be spent sharing their day-to-day stories, fears, and goals and learning new skills that they can take with them through life. |

|
The Reach & Rise® program can help to fill the gap! We are looking for positive, supportive, caring adults who have two hours a week to make a difference. Will you be that person for a child?" -Jess Burr, Clinical Director of Reach & Rise®.
