?? Celebrating Our Digital Literacy Graduates! ???? Congratulations to our incredible 2025 Digital Literacy graduates! These dedicated individuals have worked hard to develop essential computer skills that will unlock new opportunities for them. To mark this milestone, they gathered with friends and family for a meaningful graduation ceremony filled with encouragement & support. In a beautiful display of cultural diversity, our graduates shared authentic international dishes, transforming the event into a true celebration of learning, connection, and community. Digital literacy goes beyond using a computer—it’s about empowerment, access, and bridging the digital divide in today’s technology-driven world.

??"I think it's real simple to be a mentor. You have to CARE. You have to be alert and observant...and care enough to say, 'step into my office for a minute'." – Quincy Jones Mentorship doesn’t require perfection—just presence. It’s about noticing when a young person needs guidance and taking the time to listen, support, and encourage. We create spaces where mentors can say, “Step into my office for a minute”—whether that office is a classroom, a coffee shop, or a quick check-in after school.

?? "Reading is important—read between the lines. Don't swallow everything." – Gwendolyn Brooks As the first Black woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks knew that literacy is about more than just reading words—it’s about thinking critically, questioning, and understanding the world around us. Yet, millions of adults in the U.S. lack basic literacy skills, making it harder to navigate everyday life, from reading a job application to understanding news and financial documents. Literacy is not just about learning—it’s about empowerment and independence. We help adults gain the skills to read, analyze, and engage with the world around them. Because literacy isn’t just about books—it’s about building a voice and a future. #BlackHistoryMonth #LiteracyMatters #TheCAREGroup

?? Team registration and sponsorships are open through March 8th! Let's have some fun raising money and awareness for our youth mentoring and adult literacy programs! Contact Jackie, [email protected] for more information.

??"The one thing that I can still influence is the future, and the future belongs to all the children. It is also important to incorporate service to others in our lives and to lend our time and talent to the welfare of our community..." – General Colin Powell The greatest investment we can make is in the next generation. When we mentor, we are shaping futures, building confidence, and ensuring that every child has someone in their corner. Did you know? Young people with mentors are 78% more likely to volunteer and give back to their communities. Mentorship doesn’t just change one life—it creates a ripple effect for generations. We believe in lifting as we climb. Become a mentor today to give your time, share your talents, and guide a young person toward success. #BlackHistoryMonth #MentoringMatters #TheCAREGroup

?? "Show me a successful individual and I'll show you someone who had real positive influences in his or her life. I don't care what you do for a living—if you do it well, I'm sure there was someone cheering you on or showing you the way. A MENTOR." – Denzel Washington Behind every great leader, artist, athlete, and entrepreneur is someone who believed in them. Research shows that youth with mentors are more likely to set goals, stay in school, and succeed in their careers. We connect young people with mentors who guide, inspire, and cheer them on. Because success isn’t just about talent—it’s about having someone in your corner. Step up and be the mentor that every young person deserves.
