HARLEM CARES CIRCLE OF THE NATIONAL CARES MENTORING MOVEMENT INC

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.
