Harlem RBI, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is a unique year-round youth development program in East Harlem, New York. Since it's founding in 1991, Harlem RBI has grown to serve more than 600 boys and girls annually, ages 7-18, providing them with year-round sports, education, and enrichment activities.


Growing up in East Harlem is tough. The neighborhood, defined by its massive public housing projects, soaring crime rates, and the persistent shadow of drugs and gangs, is hardly fertile ground for a young person to thrive. Public schools are overcrowded and failing, parks and play space are scarce, and families struggle to make ends meet. Against this backdrop, East Harlem children who are born into poverty do not stand much of a chance of making it out. Harlem RBI works hard to ensure that they do.
