OPPORTUNITIES
Reaching Higher is one massive family and our volunteers are crucial members! We believe that it takes a village to raise a child and welcome volunteers from all walks of life to share their skills and experience.
In our work, we've found young people often struggle to make positive choices because of a lack of role models around them. Instead of dealing with the issues after the fact, we believe having brilliant volunteers join our work can prevent the issues from ever happening.
