Reach and Teach

Reach and Teach Education through experience. Reach and Teach is founded on the principle of authentic, student-led learning. Instead, students are learning by doing.

We firmly believe in allowing students to gain knowledge through real world experiences. The classroom environment has changed substantially in the past decade. Students no longer experience effective learning through listening to lectures, memorizing vocabulary and taking multiple choice tests. This program is dedicated to bringing hands-on learning and real world application into the classroom a

s a means of exploring various career paths, gaining essential life skills and generating higher order thinking. This curriculum is designed not only to teach the concepts of marketing and event promotion, but also to build confidence among students struggling to find their place in life. It is our mission to provide passion and confidence to all students through the unconventional collaboration of education and entertainment. Our goal is to provide an educational opportunity that is fun.
​
Foundations of our teaching philosophy include:
​
It’s practical and authentic. The curriculum teaches concepts and builds understanding through real life experience. It requires students to participate in a wide variety of learning activities in which a tangible product is created and shared with individuals outside of the classroom, such as industry professionals and community members. This allows students to be creative and empowered by taking ownership of their own learning. Our purpose, as educators, is to prepare students for the “real world.” This program is designed to do just that.
​
It’s student-led. You will not find lectures or slideshows within our curriculum, as we encourage students to gather information through research, thought development and peer collaboration. The majority of lessons are led by students, with the teacher serving as merely a guide. Interactive student-led activities include everything from independent research to developing and presenting a marketing campaign. Students will also obtain sponsorships, issue a press release and maintain an event budget, as well as many other engaging activities designed to stimulate higher order thinking.
​
It connects with multiple intelligences. Many students are not reached through conventional educational programs. Reach and Teach is anything but conventional. The program strives to bring out talents and skills that typical learning experiences cannot. Students learn differently and the lesson plans in this program are designed to connect with multiple intelligences in order to enhance self-esteem and ensure effective learning.

Help us wish our incredible Show Production mentor, Caleb (aka Lampy) a Happy Birthday! We are so thankful to have him on our team. 🥳

“Besides teaching us about the light board itself, Caleb taught us how to rely on each other in a pinch. We learned how to press certain buttons and change colors quickly to match the show and how everyone plays a part to compose a nice lighting show.” -student @ Brooks High School

"Reach and Teach helped me figure out what I want to do with my life and how to get started, and I’m so thankful for that and for all these amazing people I met. I feel like I’m a better person now that I know everyone from the organization." -Student

"My favorite part of ImaginEx was being able to try out the real tools and technology that people in these occupations use on the job." - Student

"The students continue to rave about how awesome the experience was. Students are more confident in trying new things and some discovered talents that they did not know they had." - Teacher

Annually, over 15,000 students are impacted by our programs: Concert Tour, ImaginEx, Campus Tour, Jam Session, etc. We ditch the textbooks, think outside of the box, and give students a real-world, hands-on learning experience that goes beyond the classroom.

How are we able to impact so many students? Glad you asked! Here's the answer: We provide our programs for FREE! And, any money that is generated stays with the school. So, schools can use the program as a fundraiser (or FUNraiser, as some might call it!😉) to raise money for their classrooms. Schools that need our programs the most would never be able to participate if there was a cost. Since 2017, we have kept our programs that way so that no school and no students are left out of having educational opportunities like ours.

A big reason we get to do what we do is through amazing supporters... like YOU! 💛 Your donations directly impact at-risk students and allow us to keep changing lives-- one experience at a time. Though the programs are free for schools, they are not free to implement.

From now through December, when you donate $28 to Reach and Teach, you will receive our official 2026 T-Shirt as a thank you for your contribution. 💛 Donations can be made on our website, Facebook, or PayPal (comment your email for an invoice). After you make your donation, simply complete the t-shirt form so we can send it your way: https://forms.gle/d23cJwa6mPdLbX3WA

YOU can be a part of the impact! (and look fabulous while doing so) 😎👕

A few years from now, these students won’t just be talking about what they dreamed of doing in the music industry. They’ll be able to say they actually did it.

For one week, high school students from across the state of Alabama step behind the scenes with us at The RNT+ Experience learning production, stage management, hospitality, and everything it takes to bring a live show to life. Then on June 5, the lights come up, the crowd fills in, and the students take over.

Every sound check. Every cue. Every piece of the experience. Built by the next generation.

And the coolest part? YOU get to witness the beginning of their story live at The Orion Amphitheater. Featuring performances from Kutter Bradley, Adam Calvert, and The Velcro Pygmies, this isn’t just another concert... it’s a live experience created by students chasing big dreams.

One day, these names may be everywhere. And you’ll be able to say, “I was there when it started.”

Tickets are on sale now! You know you want to come show your support 👇
