 About
People Reaching Out:
People Reaching Out was formed in
1981 by a group of concerned parents and community members in direct
response to a lack of resources dealing with adolescent substance use
and violence. Since its inception, People Reaching Out has developed
and implemented programs based on scientific research and proven
prevention strategies. Our mission is to create a safe, drug-free
community for youth in the Sacramento metropolitan area through programs
that will foster the development of positive self-esteem and
opportunities for personal growth. We strive to be the organization most
responsible for leading the Sacramento region to uphold a safe,
drug-free community where young people dream big.
People Reaching Out programs
include youth-to-youth mentoring, youth prevention education, youth led
community coalitions, counseling for academic achievement, and parenting
for prevention. People Reaching Out is partnered with five Sacramento
area school districts including Elk Grove Unified, Sacramento City
Unified, San Juan Unified, Woodland Joint Unified and Washington
Unified. The organization serves more than 13,000 youth and families
annually.
