GET INVOLVED

From neighborhood mentorship circles to citywide Stop the Violence rallies, WWR Inc. unites residents, businesses, and educators to create safe spaces where Yonkers youth can learn, lead, and thrive together daily.

Our Mission and Community Impact

Established in response to shrinking after-school resources, WWR Inc. champions holistic development for children and teens by pairing academic support with life-skills coaching, arts expression, and civic engagement. We host workshops on entrepreneurship, conflict resolution, and financial literacy, while our Stop the Violence initiative mobilizes families to advocate for safer streets. By collaborating with local schools, faith groups, and small businesses, we turn collective energy into neighborhood projects that beautify blocks, feed households, and open doors to brighter futures.

Together we coordinate neighborhood clean-ups, literacy drives, and cultural celebrations that spotlight local talent. Corporate supporters lend volunteers and in-kind donations, while media partners amplify our message so more residents can participate. Each alliance extends the circle of care surrounding Yonkers youth and ensures our initiatives remain community-led, transparent, and sustainable.
