Improving Education

New York Cares' Education and Family programs allow our volunteers to help their neighbors learn and succeed on their own terms. Our Education programming includes children's education and enrichment, our College and SAT Prep programs, and adult education and citizenship classes. We believe all New Yorkers deserve access to a high-quality education, recreation, and enrichment opportunities, technological and financial literacy, and the full benefits of citizenship. Below is a selection of our education projects! To see a full list of upcoming projects, go to our search page.
