WHY REACHBACK
Our Motto
COLLABORATE - INVEST - SHARE KNOWLEDGE
ReachBack is a movement of inter-generations of individuals in the community reaching back to collaborate, invest, and share knowledge so that the community can thrive, no matter the zip code.
We're Different
We Source for the Local Leaders that Top Accelerator Programs Leave Out
AND
WE HAVE A SYNERGISTIC APPROACH
Which maximizes the community resources:
Small Businesses & Entrepreneurs
Talented Youth
Community Think Tanks
OUR VISION
To build a Community Investment Enrichment Center in Every Community with the Assets a Community Already Has , no matter the zip code.
REACHBACK
WILL TRAIN MORE PEOPLE IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND STARTUPS
Our Mission is what community leaders, entrepreneurs, and parents say they want while at the same time we meet business needs for talent.
Strong Values
We are guided by strong principles.
ReachBack is committed to enriching communities with programs that increase Economic Mobility. We're deep rooted in the commitment to openness, diversity, equity, and inclusion, in both the way we operate as an organization and how we approach our work. Our values guide our work. If we had to choose one value to drive results for our beneficiaries, it would be to DRIP KNOWLEDGE to those who desire it most.
We believe a SYNERGISTIC APPROACH is inevitable to bridging the gap to Economic Divide and the exclusivity to entrepreneurship and leadership at scale.
