Summer Experience 

Most students are accepted into REACH Memphis in the fall of their sophomore year and immediately begin preparing for their first summer academic experience as opportunities become available. Six months of in-depth academic support, life skill sessions, and other unique experiences with mentors, professionals and peers across the country, and in the city prepare them to attend in-person or participate virtually in a multi-week program at a college or university, one of the top preparatory schools in the Northeast, or a highly-defined leadership program. Programs are ​located throughout the United States and are designed to help students discover learning in different environments, test independence, compete on an international level, and explore interests in a specific college major. Experiences gained and lessons learned become the basis for the next two years of college readiness counseling.
