([mreach.com](https://www.mreach.com)), a leading B2B marketing and creative services company, received the Pathful Connect Trailblazer Award for preparing students for the future of work through virtual, skills-based volunteering. Griffith has long [supported local schools](https://www.nashuatelegraph.com/news/local-news/2019/11/11/reaching-goals-nashua-firm-marketreach-inc-hosts-milford-high-school-students/) by inviting students and educators to meet with MarketReach staff and learn about careers in marketing, graphic design, copywriting, web development, and video production.
