Harlem Children’s Zone is breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty by building up opportunities in neighborhoods, so children, families and community can thrive in school, work and life.
The William Julius Wilson Institute, housed at HCZ, is a national resource for place-based, people-focused solutions that open pathways to social and economic mobility.
Blue Meridian Partners is a pioneering philanthropic model for finding and funding scalable solutions to problems that limit economic mobility and trap America’s young people and families in poverty.
