Change Tomorrow Today’s mission is to empower the underserved residents of NYC by promoting constructive and sustainable change within their communities, while utilizing youth as ambassadors placing them at the forefront of community revitalization.
In the past few months they have organized several events: Meals in Brooklyn (MIB); this event was designed to reach out to those who are in need of a meal, especially individuals who are not able to provide a meal for themselves. MIB provides a warm and healthy meal on the streets of Brooklyn as well as at soup kitchens and assisted living residences. The organization also serves food to individuals staying at the Brooklyn Armory shelter downtown Brooklyn and to the Senior Citizens at Northeastern Towers in Queens.
CTT has also put together events which are geared to better the communities and their residents. As an organization CTT has attended numerous health fairs in Brooklyn providing residents with free glucose testing, blood pressure screenings and breast exams.
