Overview
Central Harlem is enriched with community members steeped in rich, unique, and proud history. We are at our best when the people of Harlem have economic opportunity and access to the tools and systems that support their wellbeing in every sense.
To build up opportunities and access for our community, we have created a broad offering of programs and services that create pathways to self-sufficiency, personal growth, and physical, mental, and emotional health. We also look for every opportunity to strengthen the foundations of our neighborhoods. To us, this means creating opportunities for community members to come together, learn from and with each other, socialize and have fun, and support the broader community.
Community Centers
HCZ has opened two community centers in Central Harlem. Our doors are open to anyone in the community. We offer a range of classes and services, all designed to be responsive to the ever-changing needs of our community members. We look forward to seeing you.
Community Engagement
A community is vital and energized when its members feel heard and seen, know they are valued and have a voice in the decisions that impact their lives. We put boots on the ground to engage as many people of Central Harlem to hear their voices, learn their needs, and facilitate the opportunities and partnerships that will continue to build up our neighborhoods and people so they may thrive.
Health and Wellness
Without our health, we have little else. Our health and wellness teams are passionate about making sure every member of our community has the knowledge, tools, and resources to eat well, exercise, and take care of their mental and emotional wellbeing.
