He also knew that these same kids and teenagers would be less likely to engage with the program if it made them feel like they weren\u2019t as bright or capable as other children. With this in mind, Reach came up with an interesting solution. They planned to connect teens who hadn&#8217;t yet found school success with third-grade books and third-grade students. When working together, both kids benefitted, and it grew from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21229\" style=\"width: 829px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21229\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman junior staff member holding her custom hoodie\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-1920x2400.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-1680x2100.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-1240x1550.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-860x1075.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-680x850.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-500x625.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-250x313.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-200x250.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-100x125.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-76x95.jpg 76w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie-50x63.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Shawma-Hoodie.jpg 1638w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-21229\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of Reach Inc.&#8217;s Hoodie Heroes, Shawma<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Reach\u2019s core after-school program, they hire area teenagers to work as reading tutors at elementary schools.
