HCZ’s unique approach is to create a comprehensive conveyor belt of education and social-service programs in a 97-block area in Central Harlem, supporting poor children from birth through college.

 Jesse Carmichael We love The Harlem Children's Zone because they are an organization that is taking action to better the lives of children in need on many different levels. They're offering the world a model of how an integrated system of education, family strengthening, and community building can serve everyone involved. We hope that our fans can not only support the HCZ, but also be inspired by them.  Geoffrey CanadaWe are incredibly excited that Maroon 5 saw fit to share the spotlight with the Harlem Children’s Zone. We are building a movement to make sure children – no matter what their circumstances – have the long-term support they need to make it into college and the workplace. So welcome to the Harlem Children’s Zone – and I hope you will join with us and Maroon 5 to help our kids succeed. |
