Our Mission:
US Sailing’s REACH program strives to engage youth and enhance career opportunities in the fields of Science,
Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Environmental Stewardship through authentic learning experiences.
![Page 6: The Business of REACH Panel Members: John O’Flaherty, Executive Director of Community Boating Center in Providence Rhode Island](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062815/568168b6550346895ddf9187/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Need:
The nation is facing a change in education calling for innovative ways to educate today’s youth through inquiry-based learning and the engineering by design process.
Using sailing as a medium, REACH provides youth with hands-on integrated learning opportunities that inspire interest in innovative fields of study like physics, marine biology, robotics, technology and more.

Over 7,500 students have participated in the REACH program in 2013.
Since June of 2012 we have trained 53 educators though US Sailing’s STEM Educator Course.
Approximately 200 programs in four countries are implementing REACH, including programs in Boston, Washington DC, LA, Baltimore, and New York City.

REACH Works
According to informal data collected in the fall of 2012 by US Sailing:
Students participating in the REACH program for 5-7 weeks showed an 11% increase in STEM content knowledge.
Of those surveyed, approximately 50% of the students came from urban areas.

REACH Students Report:
75% of students reported, “I think I could do well in high school classes on subjects similar to those in the REACH program.”
47% of students reported they gained skills in all of the following areas: recording data, using data to create a graph, applying skills to real life problems and situations.
