Reach the World - Chicago

In select locations around the U.S., Reach the World supports networks of under-funded public elementary and middle schools. Through our programs, we give students the opportunity to interact directly with our online travelers. We also provide our schools with technology and curriculum support.

In 2006, Reach the World launched its first program replication in Chicago, IL. A team of entrepreneurial Northwestern University graduates spearheaded the effort. The RTW-Chicago program is now serving 75 classrooms in the Chicago Public Schools. For more information, contact Ryan Whisner, Chicago Program Manager.
