New York Cares is the city's largest volunteer network– newyorkcares.org – and Stand with Students focuses its support on the schools in neighborhoods that have been disproportionately affected by historic inequities and the on-going pandemic. Its mission is to provide yearlong support for these students, teachers, schools and families.

The proceeds raised from this initiative will help support:

• Run educational programs for students, such as story-anytime, math games and College Access.

• Provide school supplies, such as backpacks, notebooks, rulers, hygiene essentials and more.

• English literacy programs.

• Physical, social, and emotional health and well-being of students through sports and fitness programming.
