MISSION In the spirit of 'Princeton in the Nation's service' and 'in the service of all nations,' Princeton ReachOut has been committed to civic engagement since 1991. Princeton ReachOut was formed with the notion that Princeton's Class of 1956 (and more recently, the classes of 1981 and 2006) should dedicate itself in significant measure to helping not-for-profit organizations in ventures of social value.

Thanks to the trans-generational efforts of Princeton's Classes of '56, '81 and '06, there has been a steady increase in the programs offered by ReachOut and its financial support of projects with social impact. PROGRAMS
