Harlem Children's Zone Promise Academy Ii Charter School ran a pilot project that brought a range of support services to a single block. The idea was to address all the problems that poor families were facing: from crumbling apartments to failing schools, from violent crime to chronic health problems. It created a 10-year business plan, then to ensure its best-practice programs were operating as planned; HCZ was in the vanguard of nonprofits that began carefully evaluating and tracking the results of their work. Harlem Children's Zone Promise Academy Ii Charter School 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. All programs are offered free to the children and families of Harlem, which is made possible by donations from people like you.
