About Seattle Cares Mentoring Movement
Seattle Cares Mentoring Movement, based in Seattle, Washington, is dedicated to securing and transforming the lives of Black children by inspiring, recruiting, and mobilizing masses of caring Black men and women to mentor and nourish them. The organization's mission centers on creating a nation in which all Black children are loved, have access to quality culturally competent education, and are supported by well-resourced families and communities living in harmony and guided by faith. Through their national volunteer affiliate network, Seattle Cares connects adults to local youth-serving organizations throughout the Seattle area, building deep relationships rooted in mutual love and respect for Black history and heritage. The organization envisions a world in which African American children and their families are deeply grounded in the contributions and resilience of their foreparents, honoring the legacy that has enriched the United States and the world. Serving Black youth in Seattle and King County, the organization recognizes that many families face higher risks for depression, substance abuse, and domestic violence. By providing critical skills and positive support systems, Seattle Cares Mentoring Movement works to improve lives and transform futures for an entire generation. The organization invites community members to engage in meaningful ways—whether through mentoring the next generation, making donations, or participating in wellness circles—to help create a more equitable and inclusive Seattle community where all children can succeed and thrive.
