About BayDolphin Community Enrichment

BayDolphin Community Enrichment is a community-based nonprofit organization in New York committed to providing academic and language enrichment opportunities for children, youth, and immigrant seniors. Building on nearly ten years of experience serving families through BayDolphin Inc., we created this nonprofit branch to expand access to high-quality, affordable programs in public school and community settings.

BayDolphin Community Enrichment is currently in the process of applying for recognition as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Mission

Our mission is to enrich the educational and language experiences of children, youth, and immigrant seniors by providing accessible, high-quality afterschool and community-based programs that support academic growth, communication skills, and confidence.

Vision

We envision a community where every child and every elder — regardless of income, language background, or immigration status — has the opportunity to be heard, to learn, and to fully participate in school and community life.

Our Story

For nearly a decade, BayDolphin Inc. has provided tutoring and enrichment services to families in our neighborhood. Over the years, we saw that many students and families — especially low-income, immigrant, and multilingual households — needed more support than a traditional tutoring business could offer.
BayDolphin Community Enrichment was created to meet this need. As a nonprofit, we are able to:

  • Partner with public schools to offer on-site afterschool programs
  • Provide low-cost or free services to families with financial need
  • Develop community projects that connect children, youth, and seniors through language and learning

Leadership & Governance

BayDolphin Community Enrichment is led by a volunteer Board of Directors and a small team of program staff and community educators. Our leadership brings together experience in K-12 education, tutoring, language development, and community service.
