Our Story

In the heart of St. Louis, a community-driven organization emerged with a mission to make a profound difference in the lives of families. The seeds of Reaching 100 were planted by Vivian Williams, founder and a passionate advocate for youth and families.  Reaching 100 was created to fill the gaps left by traditional systems, offering a lifeline to families in need. Fueled by volunteers, Reaching 100 understands that to empower youth, you must also support their families. From early childhood education to parental self-care, Reaching 100 works to address the immediate needs of families while fostering a love for learning that begins at a young age.

Mission Statement

We strengthen families by helping to fight poverty, while promoting well-being and literacy from the womb and beyond.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every child, and all families, have the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their background.
