Research Exploration and Career Help (REACH) Program

In partnership with Neighborhood Academic Initiative (NAI), a few of our CURE students from the REACH program are leading a five-session workshop for ~110 local high school students at USC. The REACH program started from a collaborative project during summer 2020, ACE the CURE program at CSI-Cancer. In spring 2021, they tutored high school students on various topics, and they have been able to restart the REACH program this semester with NAI.
