Project Cicero

Address:

601 West 26th St, New York, New York, United States 10001

Description:

Project Cicero collects new and gently used books for children and young adults through book drives run by 100+ New York City independent, public and parochial schools.

Collected books are transported to the distribution site where hundreds of student, parent and teacher volunteers unpack, sort, and display the books. Teachers from under-resourced NYC public schools pre-register online to attend the annual distribution and take for free as many books as they can transport back to their respective classrooms/libraries.

Project Cicero encourages children to help children. Each year hundreds of volunteering students help make Project Cicero a success assisting with their own schools’ book drives and helping on-site during the annual event. Project Cicero gives community service recognition for their participation.

Adults and students in 6th grade and older may register to volunteer.

Please register for a shift of at least 2 hours. We welcome longer commitments. If you are interested in a significant time commitment (4 or more hours on multiple days) email ProjCiceroSV@gmail.com.

Who we are

We are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a child and create a better future for them.

We started extending help to needy children and youth who were eager to study and work for a better life. This moment intensified when we found that there were many such underprivileged children who needed help with food, shelter and education. Our team expanded and we spread out in different regions to make sure we cover all possible areas and help as many children as possible.

We now run shelter homes, schools and a reasonable mess that helps such needy young people. We also have our helpline offices spread throughout the country so one can approach us anytime they need help.

Our approach

Our Mission

Our mission is to make sure all young people and children get all the support they need, when they need it, no matter what it is.

Whether it is a reassuring conversation, financial help, education, professional training, or simply the assurance that they are not alone, we will make sure that everyone gets support that meets them where they’re at as quickly as possible.

Our Vision

We want to build a world where no child or youth feels alone and gets every possible help they need as soon as possible.

Our entire team wants to see a world where every youngster struggling in any way feels able to reach out and has people who’ll help them with education, jobs, and more. We want to spread out in every region so we’ll be reachable to all.
