A Decade of Dedication
Reach Opportunity Center turns 10 this year! Throughout the year, we will be celebrating with our campaign, "A Decade of Dedication!"
For the past decade, Reach Opportunity Center has stood as a beacon of hope and opportunity, providing vital services and fostering a supportive environment for individuals and families in need. As an effort of the Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority and its non-profit arm, Building for Tomorrow, Reach has been at the forefront of community development, offering innovative educational programs, community-based initiatives, and a dedication to breaking down barriers.
