Impact Statement

Reach for College! students continue to enroll in college and persist in college at twice the rate of their peers from the same schools who were not part of the RFC program. 70% of RFC students enroll in college after high school graduation and 65% are staying in college. These college enrollment data are verified by the National Student Clearinghouse.

In the 2009-2010 school year, RFC worked with over 3,000 students in DC, NY and NJ. Our goal is to increase the number of schools and students we serve while maintaining the integrity, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the organization.

In 2010, RFC was honored with an Innovation Award from the College Board as "an exemplary initiative to get low-income students to and through college." And RFC also received a National Junior Tennis and Learning Award from the United States Tennis Association for being "an exemplary model for after-school programming."

Funding Needs

If we are to expand this very successful program, we will need funding. With $175 per student we can get a student to and through college. Compare this with the hundreds that more affluent parents spend to get their children to college. We are a very lean organization with only 7% going to overhead. 93% goes to program and to the students.

Volunteer Needs

Request for In-Kind Contributions

Help with the development of an online professional develoment course for our teachers so we can continue to update our teachers and provide classroom-tested best practices on an ongoing basis.
