STOP the Closure of I’RAISE'S School Based Program for Bronx children & Families

The Issue

https://www.bxtimes.com/nonprofit-iraise/

Let’s Stand Together for Our Kids!

As a community-focused organization, I’RAISE is driven by a deep commitment to ensuring that every child and family feels safe, valued, and supported. Our mission has always been to uplift underprivileged children and families through vital educational and case management services that create meaningful change.  

Unfortunately, our contract with ACS has been unjustly terminated, leaving thousands of families who depend on I’RAISE’s programs at risk. This decision threatens the safety nets and resources that these families desperately need, especially in underserved communities.  

One area in critical need is District 11 in the Bronx, home to over 23,000 students across elementary and middle schools. The NYC Department of Education reports significant challenges in this district, where students urgently require school-based educational services to thrive. Without our programs, countless children stand to lose opportunities for academic growth, emotional support, and empowerment.  

We firmly believe that no child should be left behind due to a lack of access to essential resources. I’RAISE is ready to step in and fill this gap by continuing to provide impactful case management services and educational support to the students of District 11.  

Your voice can help us bring back the services that make a difference. Please sign our petition and support I’RAISE in its mission to extend educational services to District 11 Bronx schools. Together, we can ensure no child is forgotten and that every family feels heard, supported, and valued.  

Let’s build a brighter future for our children and community—one signature at a time.
