WELCOME
TO HARLEM RBI.
Growing up in East Harlem is tough. The neighborhood, often defined by its soaring crime rates and the persistent shadow of drugs and
gangs, is hardly fertile ground for a young person to thrive. Public schools are
overcrowded and failing, parks and play space are scarce, and families struggle
to make ends meet. Against this backdrop, East Harlem children who are born into
poverty do not stand much of a chance of making it out. Harlem RBI works hard
to ensure that they do.
Harlem RBI, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is a unique year-round youth development
program in East Harlem, New York. Since its founding in 1991, Harlem RBI
has grown to serve more than 700 boys and girls annually, ages 6-21, providing
them with year-round sports, education and enrichment activities.
MISSION
Harlem RBI’s mission is to provide inner-city youth with opportunities to Play, Learn and Grow. We use the power of teams to Coach, Teach and Inspire youth to recognize their potential and realize their dreams.
DREAMLIST
When Harlem RBI youth graduate from the program, they are expected to be:
- Physically Healthy
- Confident, Competent and Healthy
- Active Citizens
- Work-Ready
- High School Graduates who Matriculate to College
- Teammates, Friends and Family
VISION
Harlem RBI is a model learning community where youth become healthy, educated and active global citizens who achieve excellence and change the world.
