Reachout Committee is a voluntary, nonprofit community-based organization formed in 2001 in Mississauga in response to problems of conflicts and violence in the African Canadian community amongst youth. Its membership includes many active members from the local community with youths from all cultural background. Since its inception, Reachout has served many youths by operating and managing several programs and projects. Reachout utilized many trained volunteers from the community to support its activities. It provides the following services to the community of Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton.

Many of our youths exist in poverty and unemployment is at a much higher rate. There is still much work to be done since these communities continue to struggle due to harsh socio-economic realities. Our main focus is the empowerment of our youths! Creating an environment of mutual respect and trust between youths and adults and between the youths, police and justice system is also very important. Reachout is open to all youths regardless of race, age, gender, socio-economic background, sexual orientation, abilities or ideological perspective. We mainly respond to the needs of our young people. Reachout strives to be a self-sufficient organization that is dependent upon the material and financial contribution of its members and supporters for the successful implementation of its work.
