Project REACH
Project REACH is a peer health education group made up of VCU students who are trained to teach others about important college health concerns. These peer health educators are committed individuals who feel strongly about teaching accurate health information, dispelling myths, enabling others to make healthy choices, and learning more about themselves. Project REACH members work with RAs to conduct health programs in residence halls, present information tables about health topics, and sponsor events such as Stress Relief Week, Safe Spring Break, and World AIDS Day. Project REACH was awarded the Outstanding Educational Program Award in Spring 2007 for their program "The Sleep Shack" and their two-time award-winning program "The Condom Kiosk" is frequently set up in residence halls across campus.
