REACH builds youth leadership and community, engaging youth at Chelsea High School in opportunities such as participating on a LatinX Hispanic Heritage Panel, writing statements for Students Speak, and learning skills in Culinary.
Students and staff from Chelsea REACH visit Harvard Law School in February 2022 to prepare for a legislative briefing.
