HCZ is a non-profit organization that aims to end child poverty through innovative education programs. It provides a unique and comprehensive interlocking network of education, social and health services, and recreation to more than 24,000 children and adults in Central Harlem. The majority of the children HCZ works with go to public schools and attend its engaging after-school programs. Whether in its Promise Academy charter schools or public schools, HCZ’s high standards and expectations are the same for all of its children—ensuring that all of them are on track to attend college and successfully graduate.
