Harlem Children's Zone, Inc (HCZ) is a multi-site, multi-program community organization that provides a unique and comprehensive interlocking network of education, social and health services to tens of thousands of 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.

Nationally and internationally recognized as a thought leader with a generation of proof of its early and progressive intervention programs, HCZ has been lauded by The New York Times as "one of the most ambitious social-policy experiments of our time."
