National CARES Mentoring Movement - National Office

Today, CARES is the recognized national leader in the recruitment, training and engagement of Black mentors. Our CARES Affiliate network in 58 U.S.

Our programs address the severe shortfall of Black mentors nationally; and we are sought after by hundreds of organizations that look to us for desperately needed and committed volunteers. cities recruits caring volunteers and connects them to where they are urgently needed: in schools, local youth-serving organizations, detention centers and reentry programs in severely under-resourced communities that are disrupted by poverty, hopelessness and violence. In addition, our large group-mentoring programs, piloted in four cities and which we are preparing for national rollout, focus on the emotional, social, academic and professional development of our children and the wellness of the adults who mentor and parent them. Our place-based efforts ensure that disconnected youngsters who are most at risk of dropping out of school, graduate and are prepared to succeed in college or industrial-training programs and 21st-century careers. CARES proves that all children, given love and adequate support, can thrive and become caring contributors to their families and communities.

On this
Celebrate and Remember

Born in 1889, A. Philip Randolph, a disciplined intellectual—he was the valedictorian of his high school graduating class—grew to become one of the greatest Civil Rights leaders of the 20th century.

Randolph secured landmark victories in Jim Crow America, including winning better wages and workplace conditions— dignity—for the Black workers who provided first-class service to often disrespectful, bigoted train passengers who rode in the luxurious Pullman sleeping cars.

The desegregation of the military and the antidiscrimination laws that protect workers today, are a result of this giant’s strategic brilliance in organizing and negotiating. A. Philip Randolph’s life teaches us that organized people can–and have–not only transform lives, but an entire nation.

From the loss of Emmett Till to the March on Washington, to Katrina and Barack Obama accepting the nomination, 8/28 means so much to our people and our communities. We keep us safe. We come together to hold us through.

We’ve experienced so much and call on the strength of our ancestors as we rebuild our beloved community.

This is the work of National CARES. Please consider linking arms and aims with us, on this 8/28 and beyond.

It’s Black Mental Health Awareness Month

Too many of us say we can pray away our emotional pain. While prayer and faith are critical and powerful forces that help to sustain us, in the same way we do not seek to simply pray away diabetes—we take medications, we change our eating and other habits—is the same way we cannot heal what is hurting our minds, our spirits.

Black people are rivers and seas of memory, bodies of waters ancient and new, powerful, painful, tragic and triumphant, streaming with insistence, standing up generations of us—we, the people who were never meant to survive. Yet survive we did alongside all of those ghosts that remember for us both our strength, and our suffering.

Getting the support you or a loved one needs is an act of strength, wisdom, courage and love. Let us all be brave together.

If you or a loved one are facing an immediate crisis, call or text 988, the 988 Crisis Lifeline.Trained counselors are available 24 hours a day and in many communities, they have local mobile crisis teams. You can also visit the Mental Health Hotline or call them at 877-452-2164 to request a call back from a professional.

We offer our deepest love and gratitude to all Fathers and Father figures.

Thank you for leading by example and showing us the importance of honoring the Ancestors and our roots.

At National CARES, we commemorate Juneteenth by remembering that not all of us have been allowed to know freedom’s full expanse. On this day, each one of us quietly and resolutely recommits ourselves to realizing our Ancestor’s sacred assignment: ensuring that every single one of our precious children and their families are provided unfettered access to their birthright, liberty.

Help us meet the mandate. Please take one minute right now and visit caresmentoring.org and make a monthly donation of just just $5, $10 or $25. Your love-offering will go directly to support our life-saving, in-school-and-community Tier One intervention, The Rising, which serves thousands of young people annually in multiple sites across our 58-city network.
