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 a child's life shape their future. Through targeted programs from birth to preschool, our scholars and parents are empowered to build a foundation for success in K-12, college, and beyond.
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. Scholars can access a range of programs in Central Harlem schools that empower them to explore their passions, succeed academically, and excel in college, their careers, and life.
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.
