Abstract	This chapter will discuss the research-based and contextually-responsive ways REACH (Reflective Educational Approach to Character and Health), an after-school program, integrated literacy and physical activity to meet a growing demand for after-school programs. The chapter focuses on the design and evolution of REACH in culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse communities and explains how this after-school program design has changed to support students in accessing safe physical activity spaces as well as relevant and student-centered literacy-based experiences. The overall goal of REACH is to provide youth in communities affected by poverty a safe space for physical activity and literacy learning through a culturally relevant, sport-centered curriculum. The aims of REACH are to: (a) engage students in literacy practices through reflective activities based on reading, writing, listening, and speaking; (b) teach students fitness and nutrition concepts to foster a healthy lifestyle, and (c) promote positive youth development by supporting youth in making a positive impact on their communities. Guided by a strengths-based approach of Positive Youth Development (PYD) through sport (Holt et al., 2017), REACH has been widely researched based on five years of immersive research studies preceded by a year-long pilot. The REACH curriculum has served 350 students to date. (Autor).
