Strong Families and Communities Training Center

Communities That Care

Communities That Care

The Foundling’s Communities That Care system uses an evidence-based model to engage neighborhood partners and improve life outcomes for families living in East Harlem.

Housed within The Foundling’s Strong Families and Communities Training Center, our Communities That Care system works with a diverse coalition of partners within East Harlem – including local businesses, schools, health centers, religious institutions, other non-profits, and more – to create long-lasting community change.

The Communities That Care model’s evidence-based methodology has been proven to improve life outcomes for neighborhood residents, including better access to quality medical and mental health services, higher rates of educational success, reductions in violence and substance use, and other community improvements.

Success Stories

Manuel has a passion for music and dance and wants to be a choreographer when he grows up. Manuel looks forward to his weekly tutoring sessions with Jake because they help him better understand the topics being covered in school--and to show off his newest dance moves. With Jake's help, Manuel received a Most Improved Student award at school. Manuel has another recent achievement of which he is very proud: in 2015, he was adopted by his foster mother, Judy. When asked why she adopted Manuel, Judy said, without hesitation, "I don't see myself without him."
