REACh is a not-for-profit consortium of educational, civic, and corporate organizations.
REACh was organized as a collaborative effort to provide adults easier access to information about educational and financial aid opportunities.
Our members include academic institutions representing undergraduate,
graduate, and professional programs, technical, online, and vocational programs
as well as financial institutions, and civic minded corporations. The
association was formally incorporated in 1988 and has grown to include
approximately 50 member institutions throughout the greater Chicago metropolitan
area.
Corporate
Let REACh work with you to plan an education
fair for your employees at no cost. REACh helps you coordinate the event

opportunity for companies that provide tuition reimbursement. You can
combine this with your company’s Benefits Fair, or have it separately. The
choice is up to you! Learn more
