Groove With Me, Inc. is a youth development organization using free dance classes and
performance opportunities as a tool to instill in young women the leadership, pride, spirit of
cooperation, creativity, joy and discipline needed to confront the adversity in their daily lives and
throughout their future development. The program seeks to decrease teen pregnancy, truancy,
crime, violence, prostitution, substance abuse and gang related activity by nurturing youth, building
self-confidence, offering positive choices, and providing a safe place to go.

This year the mental health of young people is front & center. Groove With Me is a sanctuary for girls’ physical and mental wellness where they can continue to express themselves and discover their capacities in a healthy environment. Our girls face serious challenges, especially in a year like 2020 when COVID-19 had an outsized impact on their homes & communities in East Harlem and the South Bronx, and we offer them a place to thrive.

“It’s a place where I don’t worry what people think of me. During the pandemic, school from home has been difficult and “performing” well has felt really hard. At GWM I can be myself.”

We are looking for an energetic, compassionate, and experienced team player. Groove With Me is an
ever growing and evolving organization that requires an entrepreneurial spirit and the ability to wear
many hats.
