Room to Grow The vision of Room to Grow is that one day all parents will have the resources they need to unlock th

For more than 25 years, Room to Grow has promoted equity and opportunity by providing families with personalized guidance, community connections, and essential material resources from the third trimester of pregnancy to their children’s third birthday. We meet families where they are, supporting their caretaking journeys during their children’s most critical years of growth. Our nonprofit’s evidence-informed approach helps families expand their knowledge, skills, and confidence so their children can thrive from the start. Over the course of our three-year program, we partner with families and connect them with dedicated program team members to support their well-being and enhance their strengths and knowledge; community resources to bolster their growth; and essential, high-quality baby and toddler items. Between in-person visits, we celebrate childhood milestones, build on progress, and address questions or concerns. Room to Grow currently partners with families in New York, Boston, and Chicago.

In low-income neighborhoods, there’s just 1 age-appropriate book for every 300 children.

Every child deserves access to books in their own language and at their own level.

At Room to Grow, Spanish-language board books are always in high demand as we work to make sure families have books that feel familiar, engaging, and right for their child.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, help us get more Spanish-language stories into little hands. Donate gently used Spanish books or shop our Amazon Wishlist at https://www.roomtogrow.org/donate-baby-items to put them on shelves immediately. 📚

"This is how we invest in our future."

A 2003 Room to Grow graduate shared these words at a past gala, reminding us of the power of what we can do together. On October 20, we're gathering to celebrate the people and the families who make that future possible. We hope you’ll join us and see the impact for yourself 🩵

Everyone's going to be talking about this night, and you'll want to be able to say you were there 🤭

Two weeks to go until our annual gala where we celebrate this work, the people who make it possible, and maybe do a little singing and dancing with JoJo along the way.

Make sure you have a seat in the room on October 20.

We're thrilled to share: pop icon, New York Times bestselling author, and Broadway star JoJo is taking the stage at the Room to Grow Gala. 💫🪩

She's the voice behind "Leave (Get Out)" and "Too Little Too Late," the songs you still know every word to, and she made history as the youngest solo artist ever to hit #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40. She's been a powerhouse ever since, now with her own label, Clover Music, and a new album on the way.

Consider this your official warning to bring your singing voice. 😉

Getting the night started during cocktail hour is returning crowd favorite DJ Va$htie — a Room to Grow Ambassador who has played for Madonna, Prince, Drake, and more.

Tickets are on sale now, so gather your people and get ready for a night of music, community, and celebration in support of families with young children. 🩵
