Join Us! Anchored by our culturally specific curriculum, A New Way Forward: Healing What’s Hurting Black America, Community Circles provide able adults needed health and wellness support and best-practices in community and mentor engagement, ensuring a pipeline of healthy, caring adults who are emotionally, physically and financially stable, and will love and guide our children to stability and success. CARES wellness gatherings are designed to lead participants toward self-discovery and adopting healing protocols to abate the toxic stress that is historical, inter-generational, and the root of the debilitating but preventable diseases that lead to premature mortality among African Americans at all economic strata. Community Circles bring to neighborhood participants restorative information and proven principles and practices that affirm Black people’s humanity and ancestry. CARES community circles are devoted to closing the health and wealth gaps in Black America.

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