What CHRISTOPHER ROSE COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT CAMPAIGN INC does

CHRISTOPHER ROSE COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT CAMPAIGN INC (CRCEC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1990 by Sharon Coombs-Rose in Brooklyn, New York, in memory of her son Christopher Rose. The organization fights youth violence and addresses community wellness gaps in Brooklyn's East Flatbush and East New York neighborhoods through a portfolio of named programs spanning youth development (P.A.C.E., FYPS), family and parent support (H.O.P.E.), maternal and infant health, community mobilization (C.A.M.E.R.A.), hate-crime prevention (P.A.T.H., in partnership with the 67th Precinct Clergy Council), pandemic support, and chronic disease prevention (NDPP diabetes program). Services are delivered in English and Haitian Kreyol and include in-person programming at community sites such as Flatbush Gardens, virtual workshops, monthly food and PPE distribution, and one-to-one family support sessions.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform; its service delivery is built on trained community health workers, certified peer advocates, a certified Diabetes Lifestyle Coach, and program staff led by a Program Manager and Outreach Worker, supported by a Board of Directors chaired by a DDS with CPA, MBA, and LCS-credentialed members. Distribution runs through two Brooklyn offices (1404 Brooklyn Avenue in East Flatbush and 772 Vermont Street in East New York) plus partner sites, and reach extends via Facebook video content, an email newsletter, community events, and referral partnerships with social service systems and local clergy.

CRCEC operates as a donation- and grant-funded nonprofit with no fees charged to participants. Its revenue base comes from a concentrated set of institutional sponsors including the NYC Council, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), the New York State Senate, the NYC Mayor's Office, Brooklyn Communities Collaborative, the Brooklyn Community Foundation, and past corporate sponsorship from Apple, NASA, and PwC. The 6-person headcount, multi-program scope, and citywide Brooklyn focus are supported by these public-sector and philanthropic partners rather than commercial revenue.
