Each year, REACH offers opportunities for supporters to travel to Uganda with us to visit our program and volunteer at Arlington Junior School and at the Beatrice Tierney Health Clinics. Traveling with REACH to Uganda is an opportunity to explore and stay in Africa at a relatively low cost and to contribute your talents to a meaningful program. Our trips also give our students, faculty, and staff the chance to interact with donors and supporters face-to-face, which brings honor and dignity to the community. This year, REACH is offering four chaperoned trips to Uganda: Teacher Trip, Adult and Family Trip, Teen Service Trip and Summer Teacher Trip. Download the guide to our full trip offerings or look at the short summaries below! Keep an eye out for the upcoming Information Sessions in December & January.

My experience at REACH has inspired me to become more aware and active in education opportunities around the world to ensure all children have access and ability to achieve all they can.
