The Reach Foundation

The Reach Foundation (Reach) is a youth not-for-profit organisation established by Jim Stynes OAM and film director Paul Currie in 1994.

Reach runs national school and community-based programs for young people aged 10 to 18 designed to promote their mental health and wellbeing. Programs are run by the young Reach "Crew" in over 500 metropolitan and regional schools and communities across Australia. The main focus is on prevention and early intervention. Programs aim to identify the underlying reasons for negative behaviour and enable young people to redirect their energy towards more positive outcomes.

In May 2026, Reach and the Youth Impact Foundation (TYIF) announced a merger to form a single organisation delivering prevention‑led youth mental health and wellbeing programs. The combined entity is expected to reach over 200,000 young people in 2026 across Australia and New Zealand.
