Read about last summer's Reach Out Reach In in
a feature article from the Catholic Herald.

The program has two levels:

Reach Out Reach In…is for teens aged 15 through 18, who have completed 9th grade and who want to help with direct service work at sites throughout the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.  The sites include homeless shelters, adult day care, community organizations, meal programs, family/organic farms, child care and more. Youth may participate in Reach Out Reach In for two successive years.

Reach Out Reach In Too…is for high school juniors and seniors who have already participated in Reach Out Reach In or a similar service experience. This track requires greater focus than Reach Out Reach In since the participants go further into the meaning and dynamics of service by centering on advocacy.  Youth need strong listening and critical thinking skills in order to consider the strengths and weaknesses of social systems and how those systems can be changed to promote justice.
