More than a year after NYC became the epicenter of the pandemic, the trauma of COVID-19 remains. As NYC public schools plan for in-person learning this fall, our commitment to stand with students has never been more important.

We stand with students because:

Volunteer-powered programs, virtually and in person, make a real impact on communities.
Every student deserves a quality education, the supplies they need to succeed, and a supportive learning environment.
Addressing the emotional effects of the pandemic isn't optional; it's essential.

Your donation helps:

Run educational programs for students such as virtual story-time, math games, and College Access
Provide back-to-school supplies like backpacks, notebooks, rulers, hygiene essentials and more
Develop new physical fitness programs for kids like zumba and yoga
Introduce social-emotional support resources to students and families

"New York Cares has been a partner of our school community for several years. They are a constant for us, standing by us in good times as well as challenging ones. We had communication with them virtually during the shutdown and they continually assist us in finding solutions when the need arises."
