Community mentors provide additional supports. The students learn to unearth their innate power to make positive life-propelling choices. The interactive activities build social-emotional skills, self-confidence and self-efficacy. Our model blends a culturally specific approach to self-efficacy with trauma-informed healing practices that meet young people where they are without judgment. In Wellness Mentoring Circles (WMC), CARES facilitators lead students through a curriculum designed to help middle- and high-schoolers identify their stressors and unpack the harms that their communities and that they have personally experienced due to inequities. The students learn coping strategies, self-regulation, how to soothe anxiety and unearth self-awareness and critical thinking. Our curriculum is comprised of ten pillars that include heritage, wellness and prosperity. WMCs are compassionate spaces, they are safe and intimate groups where mutual trust and community are established. Our program brings a culturally rich curriculum, healing professionals into the lives of children, who do not have access to them in their communities, and mentors who provide support, guidance and love.With the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, The RISING moved to virtual programming. Virtual Wellness Circles served over 5,000 children in Chicago, Seattle, Newark, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Miami Gardens. To ensure access to our programs, National CARES provided laptops and hotspots to students who were facing challenges getting online. Facilitators and parents reported to National CARES the immediate change in children's psychological attitudes. Eager to join virtual circles, students were able to connect with another and override their feelings of isolation. 367587 University for Parents:The University for Parents (U4P) is designed to assist parents in overcoming systemic and self-imposed barriers to self-sufficiency and sustainability. The University for Parents is a curricula-based, workforce-development and healing initiative that provides spaces for parent-learners to process trauma, re-awaken hope and learn a variety of skills that enhance their ability to secure fulfilling jobs with livable wages and engage in transforming their community. U4P works with community partners to provide wraparound services to parent-learners and their families and enrichment classes in literacy, parenting, money management, entrepreneurship, computer training and civic engagement. By participating in U4P, parent-learners develop job skills and are connected to programs that advance their ability to become employed. In 2020, over 500 parents enrolled in the program.From January 1 through March 12, U4P programming was delivered on-site at Providence Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA. On March 12, the building closed due to Covid and immediately moved our program online. Parent learners became familiar with logging in to their classes via Zoom very quickly. National CARES worked with donors to distribute an additional 100 laptops and hotspots. Online activities included healthy eating and cooking groups, exercise groups, message boards, reading groups, and other features which help our parents to feel connected and to stay on their personal path to holistic wellness and financial stability. 305621 The Rising HBCU: A Campus-Public Schools Literacy and STEM Mentoring InitiativeThe HBCU RISING: A Community Schools-Campus STEM Initiative: The HBCU Rising aims to fill the pipeline of jobs which use STEM skills, for which the representation of African American participation is by far the lowest of any ethnic or racial group. The three-tiered mentoring program uses corporate volunteers in STEM-related professions to coach college students from historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), who in turn, mentor middle and elementary school students. The program helps to propel them toward social and economic mobility and instills critical-thinking skills, discipline, self-confidence, and a love for learning. Over 500 students, in Atlanta, were served both in person and then virtually. Additionally, Wellness Mentoring Circles were provided to the college-student mentors to help them to manage the stress created by the pandemic. 293120 1482318 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false true true false true false false false false false false false false true 101 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true false false false true false false NY X Watson Rice LLP 2124477300 5 Penn Plaza 19th Floor New York NY 10001 Susan L Taylor President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 300000 0 0 Kerri A Osborne Chief Devel.

The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations prior to 2017.

X 1 103177 FMV false false false Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Affiliate Development and Mentor Recruitment and Training: Our work is only possible because of our local CARES affiliate leaders, a volunteer army of caring and committed adults who recruit, train and deploy loving mentors. We support and strengthen the leadership capacity of this network through monthly group teleconferences, weekly one-on-one support calls, dedicated staff support and annual all-affiliate training conference. United by our principles and mission, our leaders across 58 U.S. cities effectively recruit adults to serve as mentors and deploy them to schools and youth-support organizations that are in need of Black volunteers to provide one to one mentoring. Cultural competency is embedded in all affiliate activities. In cities with our group mentoring programs, affiliate leaders are critical to engaging community partners to enable wraparound support and provide CARES-trained, loving mentors to serve. Because of our local presence and leadership, National CARES is able to support communities and adults through COMMUNITY WELLNESS AND WEALTH-BUILDING CIRCLES (Community Circles). COMMUNITY CIRCLES provide a compassionate place for reflection and connection, where our mentors and other community leaders can learn to relieve the debilitating stress too many of us shroud in silence. With the start of the pandemic, National CARES provided 16 weeks of virtual Community Wellness Gatherings bringing content experts, entertainers and wellness practitioners to thousands of viewers. The Community Wellness Gatherings gave people who were shut in and isolated a way to stay connected to the broader community and receive inspiration each week.2020 saw great expansion of our Affiliate Development and Mentor Recruitment programming. Local CARES affiliate leaders trained and deployed over 2,000 mentors to serve our children.
