HARLEM CHILDREN’S ZONE

Principle 1: Neighborhood-Based, At-Scale Approach

Principle 2: Best-Practice Pipeline

The HCZ Pipeline, or continuum, of services provides children and families with a seamless series of free, coordinated, best-practice programs. We focus on the needs of children at every developmental stage with specific programs addressing pregnancy, infancy, early childhood, elementary school, middle school, adolescence, and college.
