outreach program
Extending helping hands
An outreach program is an organized effort to provide services or information to people who might not otherwise receive them—often targeting underserved communities, at-risk populations, or those outside traditional institutions.
Churches run outreach programs for the homeless; universities conduct outreach to first-generation college students.
The emphasis is on going out to meet people where they are rather than waiting for them to come to you.
