WELCOME
TO HARLEM RBI.
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.
Harlem RBI, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is a unique year-round youth development
program in East Harlem, New York. Since its founding in 1991, Harlem RBI
has grown to serve more than 650 boys and girls annually, ages 7-18, providing
them with year-round sports, education and enrichment activities.
MISSION
Harlem RBI’s mission is to use baseball and softball, and the power of teams,
to provide inner-city youth with the opportunities to Play, to Learn, and to Grow,
inspiring them to recognize their potential and realize their dreams.
VISION
Harlem RBI graduates will be…
- Physically healthy.
- High School Graduates who matriculate to college.
- Work-ready.
- Teammates, Friends and Family.
- Confident, Competent, and Caring.
- Active Citizens.
VALUES
Harlem RBI's success is rooted in five key organizational values:
- Teamwork: We are one community working together as a team.
- Respect: We respect our community, surroundings, and ourselves.
- Potential: We believe every individual has unlimited potential.
- Effort: We believe in always doing your best.
- Fun: We believe that Playing, Learning, and Growing must
be Fun, and that Fun is a central part of the Harlem RBI experience.
