The teaching, though, At HCZ we build a foundation of trust over time with our children doesn’t come from a textbook. and always aim to talk to their better self — the responsible adult HCZ has always had caring staff ers who act as role models we know they will become. and mentors, taking advantage of the teachable moments that happen every day. Over the past two years, HCZ has become more intentional about this aspect of our work, growing and systematizing it across all our programs, training our staff how to incorporate character development into academics, sports and social interactions. Often the stumbling block for a child is non-academic: their behavior, poor judgment or some habit of thought that keeps them from persisting through a challenge — and many of our kids face enormous challenges. Our students also get some pretty bad messages from the street and from popular culture. shana brodnaX Senior Manager K-12 Programs

Then, I got involved in at the Harlem Children’s Zone when it was called Rheedlen and I found mentors who had the patience to guide me along the bumpy road to making something positive of my life. They showed me that learning was cool and challenged me to use my own experiences to create something constructive.
