VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP

2.7 million children in the US have an incarcerated parent, and an overwhelming 92% of those parents are fathers. For many of our program participants, Father’s Day can be a painful reminder of an absence in their lives. At Children of Promise, NYC, we’ve made it our mission to advocate for this vulnerable population and help lift them up. Will you show our children you stand with them today?

This past Friday, we hosted New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone @getnicced at CPNYC! Our students loved asking questions about her novel Dear Martin, and sharing their own letters to Martin with her. After a fun afternoon, we hosted an intimate evening reception and conversation with Nic Stone for our board members and volunteers. Special thanks to Emily Stone from CPNYC’s own Women’s Philanthropy Group for setting up this special event! 📸: @broganandbraddock
