Volunteer as a tutor with I’RAISE Girls and Boys International. The organization’s mission since 2012 has been to raise, empower, and inspire minority youth to experience success and progress in all areas of their lives and to become successful leaders through raising and increasing self-esteem and self-worth. It has provided services to more than 7500 children and families in the New York area.

’RAISE GIRLS & BOYS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION is a 501(c)(3) Non-profit Organization founded by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Shanequa Moore in 2012. The organization was incorporated in 2013. And, in 2014 it became a Tax-Exempt Non-Profit Organization in the State of New York.

I’RAISE started in 2012 as a mentoring program in the North Bronx, serving 40+ female at-risk youth who resided in New York City Authority Housing. It provided an intensive group-based and individualized mentoring program. Kids and teens ages 9-18 years old were also engaged in community organizing events with local leaders, advocating for community issues.

OUR VISION

I’RAISE helps to improve socio-emotional well-being and educational outcomes of youths ages 4 – 21 years old by providing holistic programs. And, keeps striving to improve and develop under-resourced communities and schools who help youth become successful in life.

The organization’s mission since 2012 has been to raise, empower, and inspire minority youth to experience success and progress in all areas of their lives and to become successful leaders through raising and increasing self-esteem and self-worth. In order to achieve this mission the organization welcomes passionate, enthusiastic and committed individuals to help us provide services such as tutoring, mentoring, coaching, teaching, college prep, performing arts and much more.

OUR GROWTH

In the last fiscal year 2019, I’RAISE had many successes, including the expanding of services into New York City Public Schools in 2013, launching comprehensive mental health programs in New York City public schools. I’RAISE also expanded its Arts program from locations in community centers to school-based art programs. I’RAISE has developed an early childhood program in Staten Island, NY serving children as young as 2.9 years in New York City authority housing.

I’RAISE has more than tripled in growth. It’s grown from supporting 40 youth to presently serving approximately 1,000 youth annually. I’RAISE has been able to provide services to more than 7,500 children and families since its inception, expanding its services in new schools and communities including south Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten Island.
