The students at Reece's school have special education needs, and social and environmental deficiencies. As a way to address those needs, Reece came up with a winning program idea, "COPY (Creating Outstanding Positive Youth)," to assist in the development of the students. The annual program helps students attain and maintain various vocational skills that will help develop their moral and educational foundations and develop them into productive citizens. The students will be exposed to studies in technology, life skills and a variety of career planning opportunities to help prepare them for life in the "real world." they will also learn about job etiquette, resumes, job applications and other skills that will improve their writing, grammar and mathematical abilities and help build their self-esteem. The goal is to give students a safe educational outlet and experiences that will have a positive impact on their lives and thus a positive impact on the community. Reece lives in Washington, DC.
