Featured Programs

Underserved communities often lack access to nutritious food, safe spaces for physical activity, and healthcare services. Share 4 Life’s Health & Wellness programs address the health disparity in these communities by providing access to resources, wellness programs, and preventative care referrals, and mental health support.

Leadership Development

Empowering leaders in underserved communities can create lasting change. In partnership with community leaders, Share 4 Life’s Leadership Development programs are aimed to build decision making and problem solving skills, while working together with their peers and adult leaders to solve community problems.

College Readiness Program

The Share 4 Life College Readiness Program is formatted as a workshop series designed to educate, motivate, and develop young people in their preparation for college and their transition into productive, self-sufficient members of society. Participants engage in interactive workshops, group discussions, and one-on-one sessions with facilitators covering financial aid navigation, admissions strategies.

Food Insecurity Program

Share 4 Life’s Food Insecurity Program is actively working to address the heightened food insecurity in New York City exacerbated by the global COVID-19 pandemic. We work with corporate sponsors, community leaders, and resident association presidents to distribute family grocery boxes and hot meals for NYCHA residents across the five boroughs.

Power of Positive Thinking Program

Share 4 Life’s Power of Positive Thinking program is designed to help participants understand their thoughts and learn healthy ways to process emotions. The program teaches strategies to reframe negative thoughts and use tools such as mindful breathing, vision board, and personal mission statements, to face life’s challenges with resilience and self-confidence.

Crime Awareness & Prevention
