“Education is the key to success for so many kids. And my goal specifically is to reach out directly to young people and encourage them to take charge of their futures and complete an education beyond high school."
– First Lady Michelle Obama, January 16, 2014
  On
May 1, 2015, we invite you to join us and show your support for “Reach Higher”,
the First Lady's effort to inspire every student in America to take charge of
their future by completing their education past high school, whether at a
professional training program, a community college, or a four-year college or
university.
Many
AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Social Innovation Fund grantees are working every
day to support kids staying in school and on track and to increase access to
college and professional training. Let’s show that support visually on
May 1 as part of “Reach Higher”.
Here
are two things you can do to inspire more kids to “Reach Higher.”
- Take a photo of yourself wearing your own
college t-shirt and post it on social media #ReachHigher.
- Organize a signing
day ceremony in your
community or school to congratulate your students on their college or
training program selection. Share it on social media #ReachHigher.
If
you want to follow the activity across the country on May 1, please follow @ReachHigher
on Twitter or @ReachHigher2020 on Instagram.
 Thank
you for helping more kids reach higher and achieve their dreams.
