Removing barriers to health, wellness and education is our top priority.

Four Pillars of Support

for our youth...

Successful learning platforms should have certain features. They should allow for collaboration, be accessible, offer choice and flexibility for each learner, and they should be fun! On the educator side, they should be designed with effective scaffolding in mind so that they are applicable to all learners.

Community Programs

Community Relationships

Building cohesion and alignment between CBOs and our community partners through leadership activities and mentoring sessions (both in the community and remotely at our partner site, Camp Wabenaki, in upstate New York.

Community Connection

Community Building

This includes all of the planning and effort applied by stakeholders towards creating new partnerships and expanding existing partnerships to ensure long-term sustainability of the program.

The thousands of hours of afterschool programming executed every year can be spent fostering positive interactions between local youth, business owners, service agencies and local law enforcement officers, helps to break down barriers, allowing youth to build positive relationships and ultimately strengthening the diverse communities where the participants reside.

Using existing relationships and funding, the C.A.R.E. Programs platform acts as an incubator for new ideas and programs that align with the mission and philosophy of supporting the concept of community as a curriculum vitae for our youth.
