Harlem RBI, Incorporated
Mission:
Harlem RBI, a 501(c)3 organization, is a unique, year-round sports, educational and enrichment program. The program started in 1991 when a group of volunteers led an effort to transform an abandoned garbage-strewn lot in the heart of East Harlem into two baseball diamonds for the young people of the neighborhood. Today, Harlem RBI uses baseball and softball and the power of teams to provide inner-city youth with opportunities to play, to learn and to grow, inspiring them to recognize their potential and realize their dreams.
