REACH Community and Youth Agency, Inc. is a community-centered, non-profit organization providing social, recreational, informational, educational and advocacy programs for children, youth and families of Commack and Half Hollow Hills.

Since 1972, REACH CYA has identified the concerns and needs of youth, parents and schools, and offered activities that develop positive attitudes, self esteem and problem solving skills.  

 

Over 1300 youth participate in CYA programs yearly.  Programs are held in the schools, Manasquan building in Half Hollow Hills and Teen Recreation Center at Old Farms School in Commack.  In addition to our two sites, Youth Workers facilitate programs and outreach in schools and other popular teen locations throughout the community.
