Established in 1983, Sesame Flyers International is the largest contracted Caribbean American Organization in Brooklyn, offering a range of personal development, cultural, social welfare, and supportive services for youth and families of Brooklyn and beyond. Founder Joseph Charles grew up in Trinidad and Tobago and was inspired to name the organization after the nickname for the streets where he played and his frequent trips to and from the island. The initial goal of Sesame Flyers was to provide a safe environment for children, while at the same time exposing them to the culture of Trinidad and Tobago. Over the years, the organization evolved and began offering programs for adults and children, also becoming an advocate for Caribbean culture in NYC. They famously participate at the Labor Day Carnival, with large music trucks, masquerade dancers and an award- winning band.
