A coalition of foster care alumni and volunteer leaders from the child welfare and higher education sectors guide Ohio Reach toward achieving our mission.  Ohio Reach is staffed by a full-time Coordinator, Tina Jacob.

Ohio Reach was a passion project founded by committed advocates in 2007.   The project was initially managed by the Public Children Services Association of Ohio before transitioning to a state program in 2019.  Today Ohio Reach is administered by the Ohio Children's Alliance through a partnership with the Ohio Department of Higher Education.  

Establish and promote opportunities for Ohio foster care alumni to achieve success in higher education.
