Shannon Hubbard is the program director of Ala­bama REACH. The mission of Alabama REACH is to empower current & former foster youth, orphans, eman­cipated minors, wards of the State, and homeless youth in a supportive environment that allows students the freedom to pursue higher education and successfully matriculate and graduate from college.  Alabama REACH is a threefold program, REACH Back (future students), REACH Up (current students), and REACH Out (community members), bridging high school to post secondary to community. REACH serves as a resource hub to help stu­dents access the needed services on campus as well as cultivate meaningful relationships off campus. REACH’s programmatic goal is to graduate individuals who will be successful personally and professionally.
