Harlem Children's Zone
 United States  / New York  |  Children/Education

Harlem Children's Zone is an innovative and unique community-based organization, offering education, social-service and community-building programs to children and families since 1970.

Harlem Children's Zone, Inc. has experienced incredible growth - from the number of children we serve to the breadth of our services. But one thing has stayed the same: the agency's "whatever it takes" attitude when it comes to helping children to succeed. The organization began 1970 as Rheedlen, working with young children and their families as the city's first truancy-prevention program. Under the visionary leadership of its President and CEO, Geoffrey Canada, HCZ continues to offer innovative, efficiently run programs that are aimed at doing nothing less than breaking the cycle of generational poverty for the thousands of children and families it serves.
