REACH Memphis is a nonprofit based in Memphis, Tennessee, that coordinates summer educational experiences for public school students in the greater Memphis area. Established in 1969 and rooted in the Memphis Volunteers for Youth Counseling, the program partners with preparatory schools and colleges across the United States to provide these learning opportunities. Its history includes periods of organizational realignment, and it became an independent nonprofit in 2007. Its participants are public school students seeking enriched academic experiences during the summer, and alumni have gone on to universities such as Yale, Wake Forest, and Harvard. A notable recent development is a 2020 partnership with Hotchkiss School to help secure resources for travel, reflecting ongoing collaboration with national institutions.
