09.21.19---New Family Orientation

We had a wonderful time with food and laughter as we reflected on all our adventures and what we accomplished last year. We also welcomed a wonderful new mentee and her family, Miss Elise! We are looking forward to continuing the work to come alongside parents/guardians to teach life skills, good decision-making and social skills to help form productive youth citizens!

08.24.19---The 6th Annual NO FEAR Ladies Conference benefiting Reach Forward Foundation was a great success once again. Several young ladies from Reach Forward were in attendance and 2 of them served as co-emcees. Stay tuned for the announcement of our fundraising total! Check out event photos here!

06.29.19---Great fun was had by all 17 teens and the parent volunteers who spent an entire day of water fun in nature @ Turner Falls (Davis, OK). To cap off the day, we visited Bedre Chocolate Factory on the way home to enjoy delectable treats that melt in your mouth!

05.25.19---School is out and it's time for some summer fun. We met as a group in the lounge section of Northpark Mall to practice our communication, teamwork and organizational skills as we worked through the logistics of our June Hangout (Bedre Chocolate Factory & Turner Falls). After our group planning session, we headed for a bit of movie fun at Northpark AMC. Check out a bit of our planning meeting here.

04.28.19---We partnered with Teri Walls of Master the Test to offer an information session to our Reach Forward Parents to help them help their children prepare for the ACT/SAT and overall college readiness. At the same time, our youth were working through ACT-type Math and English questions in the Boys & Girls Club computer lab. Check out the photos here.

03.19.19---This was the first college tour for many of our students. We had a great time touring Southern Nazarene University. Students and parents alike learned much about SNU as well as the overall college application process and student life. Thanks to this opportunity, we now have several students interested in attending Southern Nazarene. Check out the photos here.
