Harlem Children Zone
Harlem’s Children’s Zone (HCZ) is a program initiated by a non-profit organization of the same name. It was initiated to help the poverty-stricken people of Harlem, especially children and poor families. The program was basically designed for the social support and mental grooming of the children being born and brought up in the poor families of Harlem. This program provided support in the form of pre-school programs, charter schools, multiple forms of parenting workshops and children-oriented health programs CITATION Har \l 1033 (Foundation). The mission of HCZ is "aimed at doing nothing less than breaking the cycle of generational poverty for the thousands of children and families it serves."
Harlem Children’s Zone supports the acquiring of education to a great level in order to learn and aspire. This aspect of Harlem Children’s Zone is evident from the recent documentary that has been released on the mission and initiative of the non-profit organization. In addition to this, the organization works for creating and maintain a strong sense of bonding in the family and communities of the poverty-stricken families. This helps to reduce the levels of stress in two ways (CITATION Mor \l 1033 (Moritsugu, Vera, Wong, & Duffy, 2016). The parents do not have to worry about the expenses of the education of the children and the children can continue the education without the worry being forced into child labor, or dropping out of school due to non-affordability.
The basic Community Intervention Components that have been incorporated in the integration and initiation of this organization and program are education, health, support, eradication of poverty and financial support. As the basic emphasis of the program was on education and financial support, the program immediately became successful and gained public popularity. The incorporation of these Components has significantly reduced the financial stress of the shoulders of the poor class of society.
