About

Twenty-five years ago, Harlem RBI reclaimed a scruffy baseball field on what was known as 'the worst block in New York City.' The organization aimed to provide a safe space for young people to play in the midst of staggering poverty, poor health outcomes, and low educational expectations. Since that time, baseball and softball have been used as a 'hook' to engage youth in educational enrichment and social-emotional growth, with the goal of high school success and college graduation. Harlem RBI helps young people facing enormous barriers to achievement recognize their potential and realize their dreams. Today, Harlem RBI serves 2,200 youth in East Harlem, the South Bronx, and Newark, NJ. Harlem RBI's mission is to provide inner-city youth with opportunities to play, learn and grow. Harlem RBI uses the power of teams to coach, teach and inspire youth to recognize their potential and realize their dreams. The organization offers a unique brand of youth development where every child plays on a baseball or softball team, while engaging in academic and enrichment activities. This not only teaches youth important values such as teamwork and respect, but also surrounds them with positive role models who will help them become active citizens and leaders in the community. Programs are free of charge and open to all youth, regardless of athletic or academic ability. The story of Harlem RBI and its participants is one of perseverance. Life is a series of failures and mistakes - and, more importantly, opportunities to learn. What youth experience on a baseball field is a microcosm of real life experiences. In baseball, if you fail seven of ten times, you are considered wildly successful. For participants, there is no quota for failure - the organization wants to ensure that youth outlast the ups and downs of the game and come through failure learning how to succeed. To do this, the organization builds a culture of high expectations and robust support systems. Harlem RBI offers a continuum of services for youth from kindergarten to college and beyond. Programming is offered year-round; during the school year, elementary school youth meet Monday-Friday for approximately three hours after school, with middle school youth having up to four hours of programs. High school programming is offered after school each day during the week for two or three hours. Baseball and softball games are played on Saturdays, January-September for middle and high school participants. During the summer, elementary youth receive six weeks of full-day programming, with T-ball games on Saturdays, and middle school youth have five and a half hours of programming. High school graduates participate in a summer 'boot camp or internship. High school and college participants are often employed by Harlem RBI over the summer as umpires and coaches, which provide essential job training in a supportive environment.
