Reach Higher Riverside
A school counselor and AVID Coordinator share Reach Higher stories for educators from all over the nation! We support the Reach Higher Initiative & Better Make Room Campaign with a focus on equity and social justice.
The educational podcast was established in 2018 and sunsetted in 2024
Reach Higher, an initiative launched by former First Lady, Michelle Obama in 2014, supports school counselors who can help more kids get into college. It is designed to inspire a college-going culture, ultimately leading to an increase in postsecondary access and success for our nation's students. With a focus on first-generation and low income youth the initiative is centered around activating support systems to help students gain access to the tools and opportunities they need to Reach Higher and obtain a postsecondary degree whether at a traditional four-year college, a two-year community college or through an industry-recognized training program.
