R.E.E.L. Opens Its Doors to Establish a Standard of
Excellence
Sojourner’s Truth Staff
A newly-formed non-profit
organization R.E.E.L. – Reaching, Encouraging, Equipping,
Leaders – held its inaugural fundraising event on Friday,
February 22 at The Truth Art Gallery as dozens of supporters
stopped by to give the educational and mentoring program a
much-needed boost.
Founders Robin Patterson,
CEO, and Michelle Harris, COO, welcomed guests and took a
few minutes during the evening to let everyone in attendance
know just why they felt this group is important for the
community and just how they will accomplish their goals.
R.E.E.L.’s mission is “to
provide a standard of excellence which leads to a healthy
self-esteem and incomparable character, necessary to be
successful leaders in the community.” The agency’s vision is
to educate, equip and empower youth. To accomplish this, the
agency will be offering a year-round program with a
curriculum broken down into five modules covered over a
six-month time frame. Patterson and Harris will be
connecting youth to mentors after completion of the
six-month program to continue involvement and connections to
possible community resources.
