About REACH
MISSION
REACH, Inc. honors and respects the people we serve by promoting choice and well-being through advocacy and services.
VISION
REACH, Inc. is committed to creating communities free of barriers for people with disabilities.
REACH provides services to individuals of all ages who experience intellectual and developmental disabilities and empower them to live self-directed and integrated lives in their community. The REACH team partners with these individuals, their families, guardians, care coordinators, and the State of Alaska to build sustainable and personalized goals that encourage growth and independence. We have a growing Infant Learning Program that works with ages 0 to 3. Additionally, we provide services for children and youth ages 3 to 17 and services for ages 18 and up. These services include residential habilitation, day habilitation, supported employment, group home living and respite care. We also have a custodial and shredding service that offers employment opportunities to the individuals we serve.
Our headquarters are in Juneau, but we also provide services in Haines, Skagway, Yakutat, Hoonah, and Wrangell. REACH opened its doors in 1977 as a family-run group that met in a church basement. Today, REACH supports 400 individuals and their families and employs nearly 300 Alaskans.
