Programs - Career Guidance
ReachOut 56-81 representatives in New York
have traveled to Paul Robeson High School in Brooklyn and
presented on their careers and their professions. Some 20 of our
classmates have been involved in this process over the last
decade. The program has included follow-up visits to law firms,
accounting firms, architectural firms and the like.
Since its earlier stages at Paul Robeson, ReachOut has expanded
its career guidance services to a new program in Trenton.
Youthbuild, an offshoot of the non-profit, community development
organization Isles, is a program that both allows for the
acquisition of a high school diploma and encourages job
training. This year, ReachOut will work with Youthbuild in
beginning its Learning for Life initiative – a mission aimed at
maximizing the potential of students by helping them find the
clearest path to their goals.
Learning for Life encourages lifetime development including but
not limited to academia, and will feature guest lecturers from
several professions as well as one-on-one mentoring. For more
information about the program, please contact a ReachOut
representative. For more information on Youthbuild or its parent
organization Isles, please visit
