Reach New Heights: A Year of Growth, Courage, and Community

This year’s Reach New Heights program was a reminder of why we do this work.

We watched students show up, step outside their comfort zones, support one another, and discover what they are capable of when given the chance. Confidence grew. Relationships deepened. Moments of hesitation turned into moments of pride.

And it did not happen by accident.

Reach New Heights is built around intentional experiences. Real challenges, guided reflection, and a supportive community encourage young people to try, fail, learn, and try again. The result is growth that lasts long after the ropes come down and the day ends.

Why This Matters

Programs like this do not just teach skills. They help students believe in themselves.

For many participants, Reach New Heights is the first time they have been asked to trust their own judgment, lead peers, or work through uncertainty instead of avoiding it. Watching that transformation unfold is powerful, and it is why this program continues to be one of the most meaningful things we do.

The photos from this year say more than words ever could. Moments of focus, teamwork, laughter, nerves, and triumph. Each image represents a student doing something hard and realizing they can do hard things.
