REACH 2010: the 11th Annual Retreat





The three day retreat, held at Lake Natoma Inn in Folsom, is comprised of workshops and home group activities which focus on the seven dimensions:
  1. Ability
  2. Age
  3. Class
  4. Gender
  5. Race/Ethnicity
  6. Sexual Orientation
  7. Spirituality

It's so motivating because we give students information about issues they will be facing or are facing currently.

The most enjoyable part of REACH was having the opportunity to connect with people who have a similar passion and desire for social justice. It was wonderful to see so many of my fellow classmates sharing this interest and being able to come together and celebrate our similarities and differences at the same time!

R.E.A.C.H. enabled me to meet many students and engage in great discussions outside of campus. I have been with the University for 20 years and this has been one of the best retreats I have ever participated in.

Visit this site again and again for details as they become available.

Choose your ROLE at R.E.A.C.H.
Each retreat is a little different. If this is your first time, you can only be a participant. For you veterans, this is our structure for this year.

Facilitator/Home Group Leader - Pairs will consist of one staff/faculty and one student. Must be a previous attendee. Provide formal support, reference, catalyst and facilitator to evolve the home group experience in respect to the 7 dimensions. They are not the "parent" or "gate keeper', but a bridge between personal development and the larger learning community.
Conveners - Must be a previous attendee, Lead the agenda flow and exercises which fit the broad modules for the WHOLE group.
Workshop - conduct one time workshops on topics related to the 7 dimensions, or wellness, or facilitate exercises for the facilitator training. May be asked to audition for the Committee. Cannot be home group leader/facilitators.
Committee - They work hard. Recruited by CCC staff from previous REACH attendees. Create the THEME, curriculum that works the 7 dimensions, Publicity (ex: speaking to BLR, CLC, SEE, Grads, and the SPAC fair) conduct participant selection, and seek Faculty keynotes. If interested, contact the CCC prior to Sept 1. Joining the committee does not guarantee attendance at REACH.



It's like being cured of a headache I didn't know I had.

Privilege and isms are so strong like fortresses. This cracks the shield.

I never realized silence could cure so much. I cried to emotions I never realized I had.
