🚨NEW AIRDATE 🚨 We were just informed the piece will most likely air next month during Black History Month!

HCZ CEO @mrkwameok and HCZ Founder and President #GeoffreyCanada sit down with @thattracysmith on @cbssundaymorning to discuss the impact of pandemic-era learning loss on our nation’s children and what HCZ is doing to get them back on track. #cbssundaymorning

In 1957, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said to a crowd in Montgomery, Alabama, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?” On this day, as we celebrate Dr. King’s life and legacy, his words still serve as a reminder of our commitment to the communities we serve. #MLKDay

Need a hand preparing your taxes? Harlem Children’s Zone Community Pride is here to help! From January 24 through April 18, 2023, members of the HCZ community can access FREE tax prep service from volunteer tax professionals. Click the link in bio to complete the intake form and schedule an appointment!

Raise your hand if you’re excited about the opening of our new HCZ Promise Academy II Elementary School building! The new state-of-the-art school building, located in East Harlem, is enrolling scholars in grades K-5. Click the link in bio to start your child’s application!

Is that 2023 we see? Looking forward to a year full of smiles and excitement!

#ThrowbackThursday to our HCZ Leadership Retreat! Our staff had the opportunity to reflect on their deep commitment to the growth and development of our scholars and community. #HCZHighlights2022

HCZ Promise Academy High School scholars brought some holiday cheer to our Harlem community members! Scholars delivered food boxes (sponsored by our Healthy Harlem and Community Pride programs) to more than 250 of our neighbors at Salem Methodist Church, and Community Pride’s HCZ Community Advisory Board wrapped and gave out gifts. Thanks to all our volunteers for your service!
