Strengthening Community Service Capacity in the Columbia Basin
The REACH acronym stands for Resource, Education & Consultation Hub. This hub is the home of a variety of activities that provide support to non-profits in order for those agencies to function more effectively.
Support is provided through training and workshop opportunities, a training subsidy, consultation services and access to a variety of current and relevant resources. REACH support is delivered to consumers in a variety of ways. Services are available to any non-profit social sector agency, however Co-op member agencies receive services at a discounted rate. Co-op members pay $80 per person per day and non-members pay $100 per person per day for Co-op training events.
All training events are listed in the Training Events Calendar on the home page.
