Children's Education Programs
Help close the education gap on a children's project
NYC students need your support to inspire, engage, and most importantly, help close the education gap.
New York Cares works with grades 3-8 in low-income NYC neighborhoods to support their educational and emotional development through four unique programs.
To get started, update your Interests to include Children's Support & Enrichment and Children's Education.
