Organization Details:

Children of Promise, NYC (CPNYC) is a Brooklyn based organization committed to embracing and empowering children of incarcerated parents to break the cycle of intergenerational involvement in the criminal system. CPNYC’s mission is to provide children of prisoners with the guidance, support and the opportunities necessary to effectively develop leadership skills, form positive social relationships and enhance academic performance.

Project DREAM, a career based mentoring program, is one of CPNYC’s initiatives that identifies a profession or industry of profound interest to 4th-8th grade students and connects each youth, one-to-one, with an adult who can provide insight and direction into pursuing the chosen occupation.

Our mentor application can be accessed at cpnyc.org.
