About This Cause

POW! (Power Of We!) is a community organization with inclusive, free, volunteer-run programs for people of all abilities, with- and without disabilities, backgrounds and ages that are packed with creativity, friends and fun. Since 2019, we’ve been offering free enrichment programs in Brooklyn (and on Zoom during the Pandemic). Inclusive soccer classes (thank you to our generous sponsor, Super Soccer Stars), dance and dance therapy, Brain Gymnastics, music, interactive storytime, and arts & crafts, cognitive curriculum development, guardians support group, is just a sample of what we’ve offered in the past and plan to offer in the future. We have begun to partner with the Elementary Inclusive Program at Columbia University’s Teachers College and offered free tutoring during and after the Pandemic; now we are building up an all accessible STEM program and tutoring. We focus on inclusion, especially of the marginalized minorities with a disability, developing strong friendships and decreasing the fear of the socially unknown. Our programs seek to improve listening skills, general social skills, gross & fine motor skills, muscle memory, speech and language development as well as independence and self advocacy. Our goal is to welcome more and more individuals and families, and to cater to everyone’s needs and wishes and discover and carry on together the beauty of diversity. Needed: - sponsor a 6-month membership (of a grownup to accompany their minor) for our NYC PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITY which is hosting us and where we are offering our free programs. With donating $50 you enable a grownup to have access to the facility where we host our programs. Kids don’t have to pay for a facility membership. We chose this option as it benefits in multiple ways: - it is cheaper to us than paying market price rent for a space - we are accessible to anyone who is joining the NYC Parks Recreation Center - we increase the memberships for the city facility - everyone who is joining the membership can use city wide any NYC Parks Recreation facility and improve their health by joining their fitness programs - our programs remain free - Additionally we need support to pay our tiny shared office, $250/ month. This is our headquarters! in northern Brookyln, NYC. - We would like to build up a rounded up music program with professionals whom we have to compensate. We are hoping to start with an all abilities choir. The average pay for a contractor is $75-150 per hour, depending on expertise and training. We are a 501(c)3 organization.
