CPNYC is the first and only after-school program and summer day camp in NYC specifically designed to meet the needs, interests, and concerns of children left behind by a parent serving time in prison. Since its inception, we have provided services to over 1,500 children and their families, including approximately 300 young people each year. The organization has developed broad collaborative relationships and community partnerships, raised over $5M dollars in government and philanthropic funding, and established its own innovative and holistic model to support children of incarcerated parents in leading healthy and productive lives.

CPNYC serves Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) ages 6 - 18 who are facing the adverse childhood experience of parental incarceration. With strategic geographic locations in Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn and the South Bronx, we provide an integrative approach to mental health and out-of-school time services when and where it is needed the most. Currently, 100% of the children and families we serve are BIPOC and the vast majority are living at or below the poverty line.
