Work in progress - Harlem Childrens Zone
The Harlem Children's Zone is an organization and social project that attempts to address poverty in Harlem by focusing on the early development of children.

The program was started by Geoffrey Canada who had been working to address social imbalances in central Harlem and had become frustrated with the poor outcomes of traditional social programs. His goal is to reach a greater percentage of Harlem children in order to change the culture of poverty and consequently end generational poverty.

The first stage of the program consists of involving expectant parents in classes at "Baby College". 1
