Who We Are: CAMBA is a community of staff, volunteers, clients, donors, neighbors and partners who work together to build an inclusive New York City. CAMBA serves more than 65,000 individuals and families each year, citywide, including almost 13,000 youth. Our 180 programs in over 100 locations improve the lives of a diverse cross section of New Yorkers. From homelessness prevention in Staten Island to supportive housing in the Bronx; from employment training in Manhattan to after school programs and college access in Brooklyn; from family shelter and support in Queens to increasing affordable housing across the city, CAMBA provides holistic services to help struggling New Yorkers stabilize their lives and become self-sufficient.
Ready, Set, Go! (RSG) engages and enables parents with children ages 0-3 in active learning to keep their children on track in the years leading up to formal schooling. Through a private grant, CAMBA is able to provide parents and children with educational resources including children’s books, development toys and blocks for early learning. Resources for new mothers include breastfeeding support, breast pumps, bras and nursing pillows. Providing these necessary items builds confidence and helps engage new parents in RSG activities. These include weekly ‘Circles of Support’ that are intimate group meetings of Moms and their babies which includes educating mothers on early learning and the importance of playtime that will keep their children on track. These sessions reduce stress within the family by providing a time for laughter and joy which carries beyond the session time. Participants have noted the value of meeting other parents and children interacting with other children, and the overall support it has provided during difficult circumstances. The program’s focus is ensuring parents feel and express the joy of parenting which is indicative of successful parenting, and is especially critical for those parents having mental health or other challenges. Our goal is to give parents these tools and experiences while they are living in shelter, so they continue good parenting practices once they have moved to permanent housing. The end goal is to ensure children meet milestones for language development and build the foundation for both home and school learning.
