REACH Western Connecticut is currently collecting gently used LEGO sets and loose LEGO pieces to support our youth mentorship programs.

LEGOs have become a favorite activity for our students, helping spark creativity, encourage teamwork, and build meaningful connections between mentors and mentees.

If you have any LEGOs your family is no longer using, we would truly appreciate your donation!

📍 We’re happy to coordinate porch pickup or provide a drop-off location, whatever is easiest.

We’re excited to share that REACH has officially launched our Bethel Mentorship Program, which kicked off yesterday, April 7! 🎉

This new chapter brings together an incredible group of younger students and dedicated high school mentors, all committed to building meaningful relationships that foster confidence, connection, and growth.

From the very first day, the energy in the room was undeniable, smiles, conversations, and the beginning of bonds that we know will make a lasting impact. 💙

At REACH, we believe that one caring relationship can truly change the trajectory of a child’s life. Expanding into Bethel allows us to reach even more youth and continue our mission of connecting kids and building relationships that change lives.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this launch possible, we can’t wait to see these mentorships grow!
