"In December of 2009, I decided that I needed to be involved in giving back to our community. I attended a registration session for prospective volunteers with the Harlem CARES Mentoring Movement and was matched with East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP). Now I am off and running!”
-Mark D. Hill


“My experiences of being a mentor with the Meeting of the Hearts program have been awesome. I learned about the program after attending an Atlanta CARES meeting held at the APEX Museum. After hearing the conversation, I knew I needed to get involved.”
-Lynda Shorter


 

Why Mentor?

Because this is our state of emergency today:

  • Of all Black fourth-graders, 58% are functionally illiterate.
  • In some cities, 80% of our boys drop out before finishing high school.
  • Every day 1,000 Black children are arrested.
  • 1 in every 8 African American males ages 25-29 is incarcerated.
  • The number one cause of death for our boys is homicide.
