HARLEM CARES CIRCLE OF THE NATIONAL CARES MENTORING MOVEMENT INC

NEW YORK, NY

    • Mission

    At CARES we believe that transformation does not begin in the statehouses, but in the houses we live in. African Americans—the high and the humble—are longing for what is greatly needed but rarely stated: a safe place to heal our hurt, depression and self-denial—legacies of centuries of enslavement, Jim Crow practices and racism internalized over generations—that often prevent us from caring well for ourselves and our vulnerable young. Impoverished African Amer- ican children have been long harmed and yet are expected to thrive without the whole body, mind and spirit support regularly offered to middle-class and affluent children when their lives are disrupted by violence and loss. We seek to provide our mentors with these same needed supports so they, in turn, will provide them to our youngsters.

    About Us

    The National CARES Mentoring Movement is a pioneering community-mobilization initiative established to propel impoverished Black children to succeed in school, careers and life. The National Mentoring Movement was founded in 2006 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina-which shed the scales from our eyes about the poverty our children were forced to live in-CARES is the singular organization dedicated to holistically securing and transforming the lives of Black children.

    HarlemCARES was established in 2009 under Rochelle Hill. Now it is being revamped to provide wellness community circles in addition to providing mentorship to Harlem children. We partner with FCBC (First Corinthians Baptist Church), The FCBC Dream Center, Harlem Grown, and the Harlem Boys and Girls Club to recruit, train, and deploy adequate mentors to the children who need it most.
