Creating programs and organizing events that empower preteens to share their talents and learn new skills. #Mentoring

A Harlem-based foundation seeking preteen members in New York City.

Are you a preteen looking for activities that allow you to learn new skills outside of school and meet new people? Or a parent seeking creative ways to keep your preteen engaged in useful programs and socialize with their peers? Harlem Hugs is the answer!

Our programs will guide and mentor preteens in areas that are useful to their adolescent development. We aim to balance academics with enjoyable learning experiences. This will empower the “Tweens” to develop and excel in areas they are passionate about, while learning new skills. The events we organize will provide forums for them to socialize with their peers. Creating this outlet for preteens will prove to be helpful to their social and emotional development; especially during these uncertain times when they have limited opportunities to connect in school and outdoor settings.

Our Vision

We will help preteens to find their passions and share their talents!
