Become a Mentor

We are losing our future, one child at a time, which is why the CARES movement is crucial. Consider the following…

  • In some cities, only 18% of Black boys graduate from high school.
  • 57% of Black fourth graders are functionally illiterate.
  • 2.4 million Black children have a parent in prison.
  • HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death of young Black women.
  • Homicide is the leading cause of death of young Black men.
  • Every day more than 1,000 Black teenagers are arrested.

Behind all the harsh numbers are youngsters who are the real-world consequences of broken educational systems, broken homes, and broken communities. By working together, we can void these dire statistics.
