Big things are happening in East Knoxville! 🛒

Today, REACH students had the opportunity to attend the luncheon celebrating the upcoming arrival of One Five Grocery Store. Our students were excited to learn more about this incredible investment in our community and were especially thrilled to meet Mayor Indya Kincannon.

A special thank you to Pastor Chris Battle for having the vision, leadership, and commitment to bring this much-needed resource to East Knoxville. Access to fresh food will make a lasting impact on families throughout the area.

We look forward to seeing One Five open its doors soon!

Pool Days are the BEST Days! ☀️💦

REACH spent the latter part of the day cooling off, having fun, and making memories at the pool!

There's nothing better than seeing our students laughing, building friendships, and enjoying a well-deserved summer afternoon together.

These moments remind us that learning, growth, and connection happen both in and out of the classroom.

We love having our Foster Grandparents from the CAC Office on Aging with us this Summer ❤️

Thank you to our Foster Grandparents for sharing your wisdom, kindness, and love with our youth. These intergenerational connections make a lasting impact!

Summer Open Gym Hours was a success today! 🏀

It's amazing to see how much our students grow over the summer. Before we know it, many of them will be walking across the stage at graduation.

Over the next two years, several of these young people will reach that milestone, and we are honored to be part of their journey!

REACH & VOLS Ready - Day #5: Team Building!

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

Today was all about the power of teamwork! Our students learned that success isn't just about individual talent, it's about working together, communicating, trusting one another, and building strong relationships.

At REACH & VOLS Ready Day #5, students took on team-building challenges that strengthened leadership skills, problem-solving, and collaboration.

The future is brighter when we work together!
