Fifty years later, turn a golden milestone into a living legacy.
1977@50 creates an opportunity to celebrate fifty years after school by helping another generation prepare more confidently for what comes next.
50 years in 2027
From Reunion to Responsibility
A golden milestone
Celebrate the journey by strengthening someone else’s beginning.
Fifty years after leaving secondary school, many members of the Class of 1977 carry deep professional, community and life experience. Reach-Back turns that experience into practical connection: guidance, exposure, introductions, support and relationships that can help younger people move forward.
Part of one intergenerational movement
Where do you fit? What door can you open?
The six Reach-Back Generations make the movement easy to see, while the 2027@00 Successor Generation shows who the movement is reaching. Participation is open far beyond those years. Alumni from other classes, associations, schools, professionals, organisations and supporters can all help create a useful connection.
