CAMBA

CAMBA is a community of clients, staff, volunteers, donors, neighbors and partners who work together to build an inclusive New York City, where all children and adults have access to the resources and supports, they need to thrive. The following values guide our work and inform our relationships:

DEDICATION

We do what it takes to get the job done. Our staff is tenacious and loyal, and we work hard to provide people the services they need when they need them most.

DIVERSITY

CAMBA serves clients of every race, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation and background and our staff and programs are as diverse as the individuals we serve. We embrace difference, respect all viewpoints, and welcome those from around the corner and around the globe.

INNOVATION

We listen to the communities we serve and develop creative programs with demonstrated impact to respond to their evolving needs.

INTEGRITY

CAMBA’s principles are evident in our compassionate honesty with clients and are carried through in our careful stewardship of the resources we use to support our work.

QUALITY

Our communities deserve the best possible services, and CAMBA strives to support our staff and clients to achieve that goal.

CAMBA serves nearly 80,000 individuals and families each year citywide, including over 11,000 youth. Our 180+ programs in over 100 locations improve the lives of a diverse cross-section of New Yorkers. From homelessness prevention in Staten Island to supportive housing in the Bronx; from employment training in Manhattan to after-school programs and college access in Brooklyn; from family shelter and support in Queens to increasing affordable housing across the city, CAMBA provides holistic services to help struggling New Yorkers stabilize their lives and become self-sufficient.

More than half of our clients are immigrants and refugees from around the globe. Over 85% of our families live in poverty. We’re working to change that dynamic so individuals, families, and New York City communities can thrive and succeed.
