We prepare preteens for future success by mentoring them during adolescence!

Our Mission

The teenage years can be extremely challenging for parents and teens. Harlem Hugs’ aim is to work with preteens in advance, to address some of those growing pains and tackle issues they may face as teens. We will organize activities, workshops and events to help equip them with helpful tools and resources to prepare for those tough years to come.

We will help preteens to build their self-confidence, become more self-aware and in turn, increase their self-esteem. As they become more aware of their strengths, they are more likely to expand their talents and embrace their passions.
