Our Story

Why were we founded?

The R.E.A.C.H. Foundation, Inc. was founded in 2014 by Cierra Carter and close friend, Chaz Robinson. Their personal stories motivated them to be advocates for young children, low income families, minorities and disadvantaged individuals. They wanted to assist in rebuilding and empowering avenues that create hope.

R.E.A.C.H. provides various programs aimed to build self-esteem and confidence for the next generation of leaders.
