REAP, Inc.

REAP’s mission is “To proactively ignite, elevate, and engage the next wave of future leaders now.” We provide experiences designed to increase educational attainment, future employment success, and economic prosperity. Our model supports students along a continuum from elementary through high school graduation and continuing into postsecondary education and/or career pursuits.

REAP offers a comprehensive, long-term continuum of services to reduce educational disparities and foster leadership opportunities for youth. Our vision is to elevate student voices that will transform education systems to be equitable and responsive to the needs of culturally diverse students, families, and communities. We work to realize our vision by having our diverse staff in schools providing a supportive presence and working directly with students on issues that include leadership development, discipline equity, academic enrichment, civic engagement, entrepreneurship, and youth voice.

For 24 years, we’ve partnered with schools and communities to elevate outcomes for lowincome and culturally diverse youth. REAP’s programs, services, and wraparound support serve youth across 4 Oregon counties and in 11 different school districts. Our goals are to empower students through culturally responsive education, leadership development, and community engagement. REAP currently leads five statewide youth advisory councils in partnership with the Oregon Department of Education and the Oregon Health Authority.

Participation in the Education CO-Op will help REAP’s transformation into a next chapter of growth as we expand our impact through new programs and initiatives to reach even more AABD students and other underserved youth. REAP’s goals are to empower students through culturally responsive education, leadership development, mental health, entrepreneurship, educator training, coalition building and civic engagement.
