Having been in the system growing up herself, Samantha knows what it is like having an unsteady home life and how that can affect school attendance. She works with schools and truancy courts and has created programs to help kids stay in school, give them opportunities to be active in the community, and see more of their potential. .Her son had the idea for Reckers Outreach, which is also Samantha's organization. They help rebuild the lives of veterans by offering them a place to stay, employment resources, and a supportive environment. Being active military, it is easy to see why she created these two organizations and have Reckers Outreach feed her non-profit to help disconnected youth. .If you'd like more information on getting these programs in your school to help truant and struggling students, if you are an organization that has opportunities for these kids to volunteer, you'd like to support Reckers Outreach through donations, or you'd like more information, you can go to reconnectingwiththedisconnected.comor reckersoutreachllc.comFind them on Instagram @RWTD_2026 or Facebook @ Reconnecting With The Disconnected NEW EPISODES EVERY SUNDAY AT 8AM!
