    Overview

    At Harlem Children’s Zone, we believe getting our scholars to and through college is the primary means of breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty. That’s why we offer comprehensive youth programs that support children and their families from cradle to career.

    Keep scrolling to discover our Education & Youth Programs.

    Early Childhood

    The first years of a child's life shape their future. Through targeted programs from birth to preschool, we empower our scholars and parents to build a foundation for success in K-12, college, and beyond.

    The Baby College

    In this nine-week workshop, we support new and expectant parents and caregivers through the ins and outs of early childhood development.
