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.

Early Childhood
The first years of child’s lif shape their future. Through targeted youth programs that address children’s needs from birth to preschool, we work with parents and children so that every child gains advantages in their earliest years. Our programs are designed to build community for families, educate parents and guardians to ensure their children meet developmental milestones, and spark a love of learning in all our scholars.
Promise Academy® Charter Schools
HCZ Promise Academy are top-performing K-12 charter schools within HCZ’s cradle-to-career pathway of comprehensive services. When young scholars join our community, we promise to do whatever it takes to get them to and through college. Everything we do — from quality instruction to exceptional extracurricular activities to healthy, home-cooked meals — is designed to keep that promise.
Youth Programs
We believe every child has unlimited potential. We offer a range programs for scholars in Central Harlem public schools that empower them to succeed academically, explore their passions, and get into college and launching successful careers.
College & Career
Our scholars may leave the Zone for college, but the Zone never leaves them. We continue to support them while they’re in college and working as young professionals.
