Letter from the Chairman and the President

The success of HCZ’s birth-through-college approach — and the interest in it around the world — have work with babies, and we work with grown exponentially over the past two years.

Although only college students. We run charter 21 were chosen, most of the groups vowed to move forward regardless. They believe this is an idea whose time is long overdue for the 16.4 million children in the U.S. living in poverty. schools, and we work in traditional The enthusiasm has been accelerated by the steady drumbeat of news about the successes of the children and families in . We are adding hundreds of students to our college roster at one end of the pipeline and, at the other, 100 percent of our latest cohort of Harlem Gems preschoolers were found to be “school ready,” so they will be entering kindergarten on grade level and ready to excel. public schools. We teach kids how to play chess, and

We believe the most important contribution that HCZ is making is to prove that poor children of color — if all the barriers to achievement are removed — can succeed just like their more-affluent peers in we watch the streets so they get home safely. other communities.

What is the secret of HCZ’s success? It is simply the long, hard work of HCZ’s staff, children and fami- lies. Not to minimize the awesome ingenuity and intelligence behind HCZ’s programs, but ultimately it is the commitment of those on the front lines who are making it work. We are indeed fighting poverty What unites everything that we do — and everyone every day in every way we can. And in Harlem, the battle is turning and history is being written in a new and exciting way.

We are also opening a new chapter in HCZ’s own remarkable history: we are now working to ensure who works here — is a love for the children of Central that the organization will become a permanent institution in Harlem, so that it will be supporting our latest cohort of Harlem Gems pre-schoolers when they enter college. Our goal is to be a sustaining resource for the children and families in Central Harlem, much like a university or hospital. Harlem and a dedication to their well-being. They are

She will be in college when the school’s new building opens in the St. Nicholas Houses in 2012, but she knows firsthand about life in the development since she was born and raised there. Natasha has already seen the vastly different roads she and her friends from St. Nicholas have taken. “Many of them are getting into drugs or gangs or getting pregnant,” she said. “They are lost and confused. They don’t take education seriously.” But for Natasha, who entered the Promise Academy in the sixth grade, entering the HCZ family was a life-changing experience. “The Promise Academy opened up new worlds for me,” she said.

As of June 2011, all of the students who had taken the English Regents passed, and 96 percent of Promise High School students passed at least one math Regents. Notably, the school’s first graduating class of seniors will be entering college in the fall of 2012, and we have already taken them on several college tours and offered them intensive test preparation for the SATs. We also have three afterschool programs for students who live in the Children’s Zone, but go to public high schools around the city. Our afterschool programs offer teenagers a place to get academic support, as well as opportunities to explore fields usually not offered in schools, such as fash- ion, video or computer technology. The students gain important life and technical skills as they work on projects that allow them to express themselves. Our oldest high-school afterschool pro- gram, TRUCE Arts and Media works with 300 students, giving them tutoring, stan- dardized test prep and a chance to explore things such as filmmaking, theater, fashion and journalism.

Though college is the final segment of our pipeline of support, our young men and women often struggle once they are there. Many are the first in their family to go to college or don’t have resources for assis- tance, so even the typical challenges of the new environment can quickly become obstacles. For that reason, HCZ has a Col- lege Success Office, which keeps in regular contact with our college students, offering them access to resources that are common in middle-class communities, but are typi- cally not available to poor students: tutor- ing, internships, time-management classes and emotional support. In FY 2011, more than 620 students from our afterschool high-school programs were in college. These students were graduates of the City’s public high schools, and for many, it was a struggle — even with our support — to graduate on time and get into college. And we are seeing them through. “ For years, educators have tried During 2011, HCZ staff surveyed our current [OppOSiTE pAGE] college students to determine which skills and failed to get poor kids from they needed but were lacking.
